The Bottom Line
If you want to increase your walking steps each day, this basic pedometer will help keep you moving. It counts steps and estimates distance and calories burned. You just hit the reset button when you want to reset it to zero. The flip case prevents you from accidentally resetting it - a problem with other pedometers without protected buttons. It clips to your waistline and you can wear it comfortably all day. I highly recommend getting it with the security strap as its clip does not keep it on my waistband when pulling my pants on or off for restroom stops.

Guide Review - Accusplit Eagle AE170 Pedometer
The Accusplit Eagle AE170 counts steps. It uses the highly accurate JW200 PedometerEngine(tm) used in the Yamax Digi-Walker and Yamasa pedometers. 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 estimates calories burned based on your weight without regard to your speed. As such, it may give a different estimate than other methods.
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, distance, and calorie modes. It is easy to change the stride length and the weight. Case protects the buttons from being accidentally reset.
This pedometer uses the pedometer highly accurate pedometer engine used as the standard by pedometer researchers.
