The instruction manual for this item is unbelievable. I have a Ph.D. from MIT (no joke) and it took me 90 minutes to get through it. Even then, the sequence to change parameters takes lots of getting used to. (there are two interlocking loops of parameters.)
The bezel *is* soft and scratches easily.
The unforgivable? Today I did my first half marathon, and the chronograph function ran slow, then fast, then slow, then slow. It was totally useless. Pretty irritating performance for a big event.

I have the same problem as another reviewer, you can't set up the pedometer using the instruction manual given with the watch. Pressing and holding the mode button while the watch is in pedometer mode does nothing. Definitely not worth the fifty dollars. Complicated set up so far with tiny cheap plastic buttons. Also a very cheap wristband. Terrible choice.

Got this watch not long ago. The pedometer works good and the watch is stylish. It has all the functionality that you need in a digital watch. My only complaint is that the crystal is very soft. I have scratched it a number of times already, which has been a disappointment. I am hoping I can find a replacement crystal of better material, but I've not had time. The watch is also a little difficult to operate, but it does have an owners manual that comes with it that I haven't taken time to read in detail. Other than that I am very happy with the purchase.

The Sportline 955 - after setting the watch function, I tried to set the pedometer function. To do this, the instructions say "In pedometer mode, press and hold the mode key to enter the setting sequence." This didn't work for me. After repeating this operation several times, I found that holding the mode key in pedometer mode does nothing. Therefore, I have a watch, but not a pedometer.

The watch seemed to function for about thirty days. After that I contacted customer service via email and telephone with no response what so ever so they are either out of business or just plain don't care!

I bought this watch for the same reason as others that wrote reviews. I really needed a pedometer that would not have to be connected to my pants. I have read the instruction manual at least a dozen times and still does not work as instructed. I plan to return this watch in hope to get my money back. For the money spent it has a cheap wrist band, and very confusing instruction manual. To bad.

It's nice looking, but I really wanted a pedometer that would track all of my activity in the day. This seems to switch itself off at some point and has to be "resumed". Not exactly what I was looking for, but okay if I want to use it only while working out.

I bought this watch 2 months ago and the wristband broke. The watch is worthless.

I'm so DISAPPOINTED with this sportline 955 pedometer watch Just like the other reviewers stated the instruction manual is absolutely useless in helping with instuctions in how to set up pedometer. Wish I would have looked at revies before purchase. Complete waste of time and money!!!!

I love this watch! It took me awhile to figure out because I didn't read the instructions at first but once i did this watch became simple to use. The only con is if I swing my arm around sometimes it will register as a step but then again if I wear a waist pedometer and jiggle to much it counts steps as well. This watch isn't much more than a regular watch and I like the fact that it keeps track of the distance I walk and calories burned based on my weight and movement.
