Great watch, but not water resistant as advertised 
2008-08-28
I walk and hike and swim, and the pedometer and other functions work really well, but after two sessions in the pool the watch display no longer functions. I'm hoping to be able to exchange it.
Very happy with it!

I'm very glad I got this watch. very easy to set up, very accurated, light weight, nice size, i get my steps, mileage, calories burned... perfect!
Big Fan! 2008-01-28
I just love my new watch! I love that I can set the timer to start the pedo, as i know that from 5:30 am to 7:20 am, I will be sitting and will not need it to count my arm movement. As with anything there are faults, it will count any arm movement not connected to walking. i forgot on my last watch i bought from Tech and I once "walked" 5,000 steps taking notes in a meeting. Set up can be annoying but once it's set up you never have to do it again.
Great watch great value 
2008-01-22
I purchased this watch for my wife for Christmas. She had asked me for a watch that she could use for running outside and inside on the treadmill. Most of the high end watches us GPS capabilities to accurately track mileage and speed. They then require an add on to be used on a treadmill. I have not heard many good reviews on this feature and the whole thing was going to be three times what this watch cost. I was a little skeptical of the "built-in accelerometer" used in this watch. This sounded like smoke and mirrors. I decided to give it a try despite that. My wife has been very diligent learning how to use the watch. The directions are not quite thorough enough for a watch with as many features as this has. She has managed to learn how it works and is very happy with the results. She runs on a treadmill when it is very cold outside and has been training for a snow shoe race. Running in snow shoes outdoors the watch is still recording reasonably accurate speeds and distances. She has only used it for a month so I cannot comment on how long the watch will last. It is a useable tool. Once you get through the initial set up it is easy to use.
Nice, but can't be used for 10K steps 2008-01-03
I wanted a pedometer that I could use to count my daily steps, in order to reach 10K steps a day, as recommended for general fitness. I chose this model because I wanted a wristwatch-style pedometer. Unfortunately, the step counting feature cuts off if you sit down for over 30 minutes. I called Tech4O's customer service department, and there is no way around this issue. So I'll be returning the item.
I like it... 2007-06-14
WATCH, ACCELERATOR FITNESS WOMENS
Love it! 2007-05-28
First of all, I do agree that calibrating the pedometer if tough and frustrating. But, once you get it done right it's wonderful and accurate. There is an online tutorial that is helpful...I also called Silva directly and they were courteous and helpful.
On reviewer wrote that if over counts steps due to its sensitivity. There are 5 levels of sensitivity so you can find your right setting. The pedometer does not always count step by step...the pedometer can "differentiates between ancillary movements and actual steps. This feature provides users with the most accurate results by delaying calculation until it has registered 10 steps." So, this is probably one reason one reviewer thought it was over counting.
Just like any new gadget, there are always quirks to figure out. For me, it was worth persevering and getting the settings right. When you get your watch, open the packages and put the direction aside and head straight for the online tutorial (...)
Not Accurate 
2007-04-12
I have tried to calibrate this watch several different ways and have finally given up and purchased Nike + Ipod, which I love. This watch is too complicated to set up. I had to have the instruction manual right next to me to figure which of the four buttons to press next and how many times to get to where I wanted to go. The web site provided is not much more helpful.
The Nike + ipod was soooo simple and much more accurate. If you have a nano and $30 dollars I would definately go that route instead.
Okay 2007-04-05
This watch is comfortable & loaded with functionality. A couple of the indicators are hard to read; You need a magnifier to see that the dot the right side reads AM or PM. It is also quite complicated to use. The directions sent with the watch are almost useless. The on-line tutorial is much better.
I'M NOT A GENIUS! 2007-02-17
This is an extremely complicated piece of machinery. I have not gotten it to work the way it is supposed to yet. The instructions are "Yeh" long, with sub-function instructions that are not clear. I even called the company and their technitions had to look up the instructions and they were not sure how to set it up. I'm a senior citizen, but not a dummy. I want to use the watch predominately as a pedomiter, but it cuts off after a minute. I have tried to set it up like the instructions say but it is frustrating. Too much of a good thing. Sorry. Not satisfied, but I'll keep trying.
