The unit itself is OK but the software causes me problems. After d'loading the data the main online screen would come up. After logging in I would get the dashboard with just that day's data. No history, no ability to change windows, nothing. Took me 3 weeks to figure out that it does not like firefox, works great in edge, which I try not to use, but not firefox. Otherwise np problems.

Had two of the old style and yes this is more accurate. I had to do some fine turning on the length of pace and now it's dead accurate. Checked it on the high school track.

I am running windows 7 and 8.1 and had no issues with logging into my account and uploading the data. It works very easy. In fact you can upload from different computers and it goes direct to my account. Recommended. USB works nicely.

Edit: Dropping One Star (6/3/2015)
After seeing the little icon "T" flashing, I attempted to download the information according to their procedures. For whatever reason, the Omron Tri-Axis does not seem to want to share the information with my computer. I've tried numerous times. The computer recognizes that the drive is there but downloading the data hasn't happened. I'll attempt to do so a few more times and eventually just call it a day.

I'm not sure that I should do a review based on just one day's usage, but here goes:
· Setting up was much easier than I had anticipated. Even after screwing up my height and continuing on I was able to get back to the proper spot to make the necessary correction without losing information already inputted.
· The pedometer tracks your movement for four seconds then begins adding steps. Not to worry, steps taken during those four seconds are added as well. Downside, if you do movement that DOESN'T last at least four seconds, it's lost to you and those steps do no count for anything.
· The clip is secure to the pedometer but it actually did slip off my belt once while at home. If a leash or tether is provided, I sure didn't see it. While hiking the pedometer felt secure and seemed to do exactly what it was supposed to do.
· The instructions seem more complicated than they actually are. I believe it's a case if too much info in the form of written instructions AND diagrams.

Overall, I'mvery happy with this purchase. I had considered several far more expensive items. In some respects, newer isn't necessarily always better.

I've been using this about two month's or so. It's easy to read and the instructions are simple. The online program that goes along with this is very easy to set up and follow. I've tried several types and this is my favorite. It also has a holder, but if you keep it on a belt, it can snap out of it. I have found that if I don't have a pocket in what I'm wearing I hang the clip on a bead chain or string around my neck. Most of the time I keep it in a pocket. The numbers are easy to read and also has the time on it so you don't need a watch when using it.

A very nice pedometer, New, but old. Received with dead Li battery, and they last 5-10 yrs.
