I bought this pedometer about 18 months ago. I’ve been using it regularly and have had no problems. Battery life is about 6 months or so and the batteries are easy to get. The nicest feature (to me) is that it doesn’t make noise — the mechanical pedometers click with each step, this is completely silent. It is pretty accurate — if you wear your pants lower than the natural waist, it might miss a few steps — also if you walk very smoothly, it will miss steps. Yes, it does work when I stick in in a pocket in my purse.

to read democracy in america is to confront greatness itself, to follow the reflections of one the greatest political thinkers of all time, a man of balanced rationality, with a passionate concern for the fate of democracy–true democracy, that is, not the kind we see politicians preach on tv everyday. personally i prefer volume 2 of this great work, where the author summons up his astonishingly penetrating power of analysis and prophesy

I started using this bean-bag friction mount when I bought my first serious Garmin GPS (the 2720) and continued to use it on my subsequent Garmin GPS units (2830, nuvi 350, 750, 285, 500, etc.). It worked but it wasn’t perfect for my needs.

I travel often and needed a mount that I could put in my briefcase and although I could with this one there were a few drawbacks:

* Since it is full of lead-shot it showed up as a dark mass when I sent my bag through the scanners at airports and they had to manually search my bag unless I took it out first

* The mounting arm and bracket has to be taken off of the mount before storing in a bag (the little pieces tended to move around in my briefcase making them hard to find). Not a big deal unless you are looking for them at night while standing in the cold or rain at the rental car lot

* I found that it was not very stable when used in certain vehicles (I rent all kinds of cars on my trips, most were fine, some weren’t)

When Garmin came out with their flexible friction mount I bought one right away. I found that I could fold it flat without taking the arm or the bracket off; it is lighter and has no lead shot so it was not a problem at airports; since it conforms to the dash it works better for me on a wide variety of cars and SUVs.

Some people will like this one better and some will prefer the other one, either way they are both good units and you should be happy with whichever one that you chose.

I have had 2 of these…the first went through the laundry attached to my jeans and didn’t fair too well but the second has lasted thanks to my ability to remember to take it off the jeans! Now for the review… After having purchased many pedometers and returning just as many I can say quite honestly that this is the best product out there for the money. Each step that is counted is one that was actually taken…it is easy to use, easy to program, simple to wear, and affordable. It can be worn in the pocket or attached to the waist band…it comes with a fabulous security strap that has saved me from losing it several time because the waist clip does not like to stay attached all the time. This is well worth the money…I highly recommend it!
