Pedometer not accurate???

Have you guys had an issue with your pedometers being accurate? I've notived that sometimes it seems to record like 3 steps for every one. Maybe I just bought a cheap piece of cr*p! Haha.

I have a Omron pedometer that came with a software, maybe you like this one, work really good for me, and seems to be very acurate.

Ok, so I basically admitted that I did buy a cheap pedometer. How much was yours, Veronica, if you don't mind me asking. Sounds elaborate with software?? Or was it not too hard to set up? How do you like it?

Let me find out how much was, I dont remember, but I like the fact that you can download your steps and check your avarage and also set goals , I like it a lot, I use to use a similar pedometer with a web page subscription name fitbug but I found this pedometer that was the same with a software then I discontinue my web subscription and I use the software instead, its not hard to set up, really easy and well overall great device, I found out about this gem in consumer report, back withinfosoon

Ok, thanks! So, the brand was OMROM?? I'll see if I can look up on Google. I didn't expect it to be $5. I'm sure it's at the dollare store because of the issues I mentioned...haha...serves me right.
