I received it as a Christmas gift and I have worn it 3 times while working out in the past 1.5 weeks. The pedometer screen stopped working after the first workout, and I couldn't even figure out how to get it to work. The FM reception is horrible both inside and outside. Additionally, each time I moved, the connection from the headset to the device was lost. You have to hold the headset connection steady which isn't convenient when you are working out. I definitely do not recommend. I am currently trying to find another sports walkman, any suggestions?

Like the previous reviewer, I found the connection to the headset very finicky. I exchanged my first one for another and had the same problem. I believe the problem is that the batteries don't lock into place such that the power connection goes out frequently, losing stored data and failing to record steps properly. The manufacuter was completely uninterested in hearing this feedback or helping me figure out how to get the batteries to stay in place so I returned the product for a credit.

I recieved the Eddie Bauer pedometer (with fm radio) for Christmas and have tried it several times. The closest it comes to my correct step count is plus/minus 10%. That's a 20% range. The clear button also clears my step count if I accidently bump it. It should be protected. The made in China sign on the back tells me they probably import these for about $5.00 each. What garbage.

After going through several Sportline pedometers, I purchased the Eddie Bauer Pedometer with FM Radio. I've worn it daily for the last 3 months, and have taken numerous opportunities to verify the accuracy of the count. It is by far the best pedometer I've owned. The radio is a nice feature, which I use occasionally. The headphones are very comfortable.

I received this as a gift a couple of weeks ago and am pretty pleased all in all...<br /> <br /> Pro: Step counter is pretty darn amazingly accurate - I did multiple takes on the "100 Step" test recommended in the setup and it came close every time. (I'm still trying to figure out how it does this since I was wearing it as recommended at my waist) FM reception is good; earphones have crisp tone. Individual tasks in the instructions are clear and simple (but wish there was more of an overall walk-thru - I missed the step on entering the length of my step the first go-around!)<br /> <br /> Con: No display of the FM channel you're listening to so while the scan feature works well, not easy to find a specific station. (Personally, I wish it did AM as well as FM)
