3. Precision
Pedometer precision varies according to how you walk. Average variation is
around 10%.
However it may deteriorate according to product position, walking environment
or usage.
This product is not designed for running use or hiking on hilly or uneven terrain
because the readings will be highly inaccurate. (does not take into account
ascents/descents) What’s more, walking on soft or muddy ground gives
readings that are approximately 5% inaccurate.
