the radio has no presets so you have to manually click through radio stations til you find the one you want. the clips breaks off easily. the pedometer just stops working. mine stopped working after 1 month, i returned for a new one which stopped working in 2 weeks. don't bother buying cause it won't last long enough to be worth it.
The clip is very flimsey -- reset button too sensitive. 2006-03-13
The Sportline 353 Talking Pedometer works ok as a pedometer and as an FM radio, but it has 2 issues.
The Good: The talking part of this pedometer can be turned off or on. It is nice to hear when you are rolling along, "9000 steps." The FM radio is very elementary, but functional. There is no dial to tune. You push a button and it rolls to the next station. There is a volume control on the earphones. The pedometer uses AAA batteries that can be purchased anywhere.
The Bad: The pedometer was constantly slipping off my waistband and bouncing on the floor. It didn't break, but it was very annoying. Several times it popped off w/o me knowing and I left it in a restaurant or in a friend's car.
The Ugly: If I accidentally bumped the reset button - on the kitchen counter or on the arm of a chair - the pedometer lost the day's count and went back to zero. The pedometer does not have a memory feature - so the tally is lost. This would sometimes happen 2-3 times a day. Very frustrating.
The clip broke after about 3 months -- so I retired it.
I bought a Omron HJ112 Premium Pedometer and have been very pleased with it. It has a teather so if the clip slips off my waistband, the pedometer dangles -- it does not bounce on the floor. It has a 7-day memory feature and automatically resets at midnight. It has a clock. It uses a button battery. It does not have a radio and it doesn't talk, but it works and works well.
The Sportline would be good if it had a teather, a clip that didn't break so easily, and a reset button that could not be pushed accidentally.
Not really for the all day walker 2005-02-24
I walk alot at work. Step counters I've had in the past have been flimsy and fall off way too easily. I got this for a Valentine's Day gift and it worked fine for awhile, but all of a sudden, it started to reset itself. It works great, it keeps track of my steps well, records my calories, etc., but it resets itself for no reason.
I'm starting to regret the money I spent on it and wished I'd just gotten a small, cheap step counter. The only reason I got this one was my boyfriend has it as well and his works great.
I've tried to contact the company that makes it, but never heard from them. My guess is that it's not meant to be worn for the whole day, just when exercising or jogging.
Avoid this one unless you only want to use it for exercising and not the entire day.
