Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My high-tech FitBit Versa was a piece of garbage. Died in 6 months -- no reason -- and during the time it did work, it was endlessly buggy. In the end, I hated it and decided that rather than invest once again in an expensive smartwatch to track my steps, I'd go low-tech. I'm so glad I did. This little step counter does nothing else -- just counts your steps. It won't tell you the weather; give you "feedback" or "encouragement" and, it can't steal your personal information either. But, what it does do is WORK. Now, whether or not it is accurate is an open question. I have a step counter on my smartphone too. And, if I use both at the same time, I get pretty much the same step count reading. I've also done a low-tech test at home. I walk around the house counting the steps I take and then looking at the counter and seeing if they are close-to-the same reading. There can be a variation of around 10-15 steps, but for the most part -- and most of the time -- they are pretty close. In short: This is a nifty, easy-to-use, small device that you can clip-on or wear around your neck. If you drop it or submerge it in water and it goes tits up -- you can replace it for around $22 dollars. If you don't need the bells and whistles -- this is for you!
