The Bottom Line
The NL-800 pedometer is a great pedometer for those who just want to count steps. The automatic seven day memory helps you track your walking, and as a bonus you won't need a watch as it also displays the time of day. The pedometer mechanism, a medical-grade accelerometer, is more tolerant of where it is worn, so will work better for more body shapes. It has no moving parts, so no annoying clicking.

Guide Review - New Lifestyles NL-800 Activity Monitor Pedometer
This pedometer is a little more expensive than most, but it makes up for it in accuracy and reliability. The same medical-grade accelerometer mechanism is used that is top-rated in New Lifestyles NL-2000 for accuracy. This mechanism is more tolerant of being worn at an angle, so people with various body shapes may get better readings with these pedometers than they do with other pedometers.
