Amazon.com Product Description
The first pedometer ever to incorporate digital motion sensor technology to ensure increased accuracy, the Highgear 20024 FitWare Pulse is a favorite tool of joggers and other results-oriented exercise enthusiasts. The device is completely self-calibrated: the user merely enters his or her age, weight, and stride, and the FitWare does the rest, with readings for calories counted, distance traveled (in 1/10 mile increments), and steps walked or jogged. In addition, the unit sports a working range of 1/10 to 6,210 miles and one to 99,999 steps, encouraging users to measure their progress over days, weeks, or months, making long-term training accurate and rewarding. A further bonus derives from the finger-touch pulse sensor, which takes readings in beat-per-minute increments (with a range of 40 to 240 bpm). Thanks to the pulse sensor, users can create effective cardiovascular workouts whether enduring repeated sprints or long-distance training. You can even program the FitWare to sound an alarm whenever your pulse exceeds or drops below a certain levels. Other valuable features include a chronograph with a 0.01-second resolution and 24-hour max time range; a rubberized surface that ensures a slip-free grip; a three-second backlight that makes for easy nighttime viewing; and a belt clip that securely attaches the device to your workout shorts. Plus, when not used as a training tool, the FitWare functions as an extremely accurate watch, with hour, minute, and second readings, an alarm, and 12- and 24-hour options. The FitWare measures 2 by 1.12 by 2.12 inches (W x H x D), weighs 1 ounce, and is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

 Not what I hoped December 13, 2006
I bought this pedometer because it has all the features that I want. Love the pulse rate monitor, but you get a different reading depending on which finger you use. Not really an issue since it's supposed to be just a guide. The biggest problem I have is that once attached to my pants, all I have to do is turn sideways, wiggle my body, move my leg up and down or any other minor movement and the pedometer increases. One day while at my desk I put on 4000 steps!! The direction book doesn't have any info on how to change this so, I don't really have an accurate account of my steps. If your goal is to get in 10,000 steps a day, this isn't really the tool to use because of its sensitivity. If you're only using it during your workout, it's a good tool.
 Neato, but really really tiny buttons November 3, 2006

I bought this for my mom to encourage her to go walking more often like she said she wanted to, but when I brought her this pedometer, she thought it was neat, but too complicated. I read all the instructions and figured out how to operate it, but it just has too many functions and really tiny buttons with kind of complicated ways to get to all those functions. So, she has never used it. Oh well, it was innexpensive, it worked just fine, but someting more simple would of been better.
Good product with a few flaws August 3, 2006

A 44-year-old woman that trying to increase her overall fitness level writes this review. I have used a number of different pedometers in the past and have been dissatisfied with my purchases. I purchased this product because I liked the fact that this pedometer would allow me to monitor my pulse. I find my heart rate monitor to be annoying and a sweat magnet around my torso and was looking for a more simple solution.
I have summarized my observations of this product below:
Pros:
1.The pulse monitor appears to be accurate and is fairly quick to (under 5 seconds) give a reading
2.The step counter is more accurate than pedometers I have had in the past
3.Comes with a second button battery
4.Allows you to program in your age, sex, weight so that it can more accurately calculate your calories
5.Reasonably small size
6.Easy to zero out the counters to begin the day
7.Has a clock function which is handy if you don't wear your watch all the time
Cons:
1.You can't put this item in your pocket and get an accurate reading (mine stopped counting, apparently one of the buttons was accidentally depressed in my pocket)
2.Programming is tedious and not intuitive, you need to use the directions
3.Directions could be more clear
Overall I recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a pedometer and a pulse monitor. It is not the perfect solution, but it is a fairly good solution.
