 Timex T5E011 Pedometer By: Timex Average Rating: 3.5 Total Reviews: 20 More Information pedometer  On: 2008-06-08Easy to use, easy to read, reset, etc. I find that this pedometer encourages me to walk a little further! Its fun to see how many steps you actually take a day! Works Great!!!  On: 2008-05-31This is the first Pedometer that I have ever purchased and I use it for walking only. I must say that this unit was easy to set up is accurate and works great. It is very accurate from a per step perspective, I have to assume that the calorie counter works as it says it does. This unit also provides accurate walking distance in miles or kilometers as well. I have been using this unit for over two months now and the clip is still as strong as when I opened the box. If your looking for a Pedometer for walking I would highly recommend this model. Worked fine for a couple of only.....  On: 2008-05-20I was looking for a pedometer that had a spring clip and a cover to avoid accidental resets. It worked perfectly the first 2 or 3 times that I went walking. Then it seemed to gradually count less and less of my steps so I tested it and found that it was only counting about 80% of my steps. I tried it a couple of more times thinking it might be a fluke occurrence. I re-tested it again and the count was down to 40%. Tried a few more times with the same results. It was never dropped or bumped, it just stopped working. Useless to me. Returned for refund. Good Buy On: 2008-05-15This is the 5th pedometer Ive owned. It is the only one that has been consistent. It is also very easy to use and interpret. Set a goal and you'll find yourself taking the stairs.. On: 2008-04-29I love this pedometer! Ive only ever used one other kind from a class I took and this one is very similar. It does its job and Ive loved owning one! I work out a lot but I found myself working out even more to reach certain goals I set at the beginning of the day.. :) Timex Pedometer On: 2008-04-14The Timex pedometer is totally useless for my purposes. I found that when walking on concrete or hard surfaces it is fairly accurate. But I live in Colorado and mostly walk on unpaved trails, grass, etc. After purchasing this pedometer, I noticed that it was in major disagreement on the number of steps involved walking various trails I had walked for years using other pedometers. After doing some experiments on various surfaces it became clear to me that on softer unpaved surfaces this pedometer was totally inaccurate being in error by as much as 50%. I finally assumed that I had a defective product and decided to send it back to Timex, although after looking at other reviews of this product this may just be a piece of junk that cant count steps accurately on varying surfaces. After consulting my Warranty I discovered that the repair was free of charge but: "Please include the following with your pedometer to cover postage and handling (this is not a repair charge); a U.S. $7.00 check or money order in the U.S. . . . " What a second. Theyre charging me $7.00 on a $13.16 pedometer to repair or replace it, although they refuse to call it a repair charge. Im sorry but this is outrageous and Im going to toss this thing in the garbage and find another product that works. Without any others to compare to, it's pretty good On: 2008-04-07I use the timax pedometer. If I attach it to my sock or my shoe with the top side up it counts perfectly. The instructions say to place it on the waistband and it doesnt work for me there. Maybe I dont sway enough. Works great... On: 2008-02-28This little pedometer is very convenient for slipping on your belt or waistband, and just forgetting about it for the day. I love the feature where you can just flip it open while still attached and see how far youve walked. Id buy this again. Easy to use On: 2008-02-16I have been trying out different pedometers (5) to find one I really like. The Timex is the least complicated and easiest to use. It is also very accurate. I find the spring loaded clip very secure, even when jogging. All in all a good product at a reasonable price. Good Buy On: 2008-02-15This pedometer is good. It works well, looks good and was a great price. It is really helping me in realizing how little I really move during the day and is motivating me to get more exercise. Id recommend this to anyone that is looking to loose weight or just get healthier. Step counter---Timex T5E011 On: 2008-01-27When I wear this device at the same time as an Omron H5-112 this device picks up about a thousand more steps during the day than the Omron. I do not know which is the most accurate. Skip this one On: 2008-01-21Bought this locally, at EMS store. Battery died after 3 weeks. Fortunately, store took it back and credited my VISA card with no problem. This may be an inexpensive unit, but if the batteries cannot last a month, it will quickly cost more for batteries then it did for the original unit. Pedometer  On: 2007-12-17I was very disappointed, I was only able to use this product for a few days when it fell off and upon hitting the ground it broke. Needless to say I had to order a replacement. I purchased one that had a better grip on whatever it was clipped to. This one wasnt tight enough. Pedometer review On: 2007-12-16Couldnt be simpler to use. Previous reviewer said you cant replace the batteries, but you can. Just read the instructions. Great for knowing how far you've gone in a day! On: 2007-12-06This is my second pedometer and Im very happy with it. Its super easy to use. You set your stride length and your weight ... and away you go. Its amazingly accurate as far as being able to calculate distance ... and therefore I trust that the number of steps and calories it calculates must also be accurate. Its fun to know where you stand at the end of the day ... I mean ... who knew that clogging for 2 hours takes 10,000 steps!!! And that just putzing around the house all day takes 2,000 steps ... If you want to do the 10,000 steps per day recommendation, you need one of these. I always thought that walking around the neighborhood every day was good enough ... and it was a revelation to know that I wasnt taking nearly as many steps as I thought!! Timex pedometer  On: 2007-11-14This pedometer is very inconsistent. I walk a similar path every day, in various direction, about 2 miles. Some days it reads .67 miles and some its 1.97. The instructions are to wear the device on your hip, and I do. My older pedometer just needed a battery. Lucky for me. I went back to the old one and the Timex will end up in a drawer.

Easy to use and reset. Good ol Timex. Nice product On: 2007-10-02Nice product. Well made. Easy to use. Its surprisingly fun to keep track of your step count. Great little friend On: 2007-09-04This is not a cheap plastic pedometer with a clip that will crack off easily. This pedometer is very light & sleek, unlike some Ive had that were rather bulky. There is a nice large number display, easy to read. I figured a Timex would be a good brand for a pedometer. I am very satisfied. Pedometer On: 2007-07-06I was just starting out with the whole idea of using a pedometer and weight maintenance. This one was perfect. Its lightweight and easy to use and read. |
