I have been wearing a pedometer and counting my steps for over 4 years, and this one is by FAR the most accurate I have had. You do have to be careful not to hit the reset button accidentally, but its great to be able to glance down and check your progress without having to open it up.

I have had four different pedometers (Sportline, Digiwalker, Omron and the Freestyle Tracer), and the tracer was by far the worst. The reset button (noted by another reviewer) has a hair-trigger response - it resets way too easily and I have had the same problem with the pedometer resetting itself several times in a day. I also wrote several times to the company to ask them about this and they never responded. So all in all, dont do business with Freestyle. How Consumer Reports rated this pedometer a Best Buy is beyond me.
The day the Freestyle broke all I could think was "Good!, Now I get to find a better one!"
And in case youre wondering - of the four, the Omron, which was rated above Freestyle but not a Best Buy, has been a dream come true.

I bought the Freestyle because Consumer Reports recommended this particular pedometer, however, I am ready to toss it out the window! The reset button is much too large, exposed, and easy to use, (you hold it down for 3 seconds). I have found that during my daily activities, it gets reset without my knowledge. This has happened more times than I can count and is very frustrating! Until the reset button is redesigned, I would NOT purchase this product.
