Guide Review - Digiwalker 401 Pedometer

The Digiwalker 401 counts steps. It estimates distance based on your average stride length, which you can set in increments of .25 feet. I found it to be accurate for steps when worn at a spot on your belt or waistband where it could hang vertically. It is so small and lightweight that a child or an adult can wear it all day comfortably, and I have even slept with it on. It is simple to set and easy to move between the step count and distance modes. It is easy to change the stride length. Case protects the buttons from being accidentally reset. I found that it pops off your waistband easily, so you must order it with a security strap to help prevent losing it.
