What is happening , since I am counting steps All day is that when I drive it counts step Randomly depending on the roughness of the road.

i think it is referring to steps that are counted without actually taking steps, movement can create this, it also didn't count steps that i took, I don't like this product and don't even use it anymore. Hope I helped you.:)

I have never experienced a false alarm. The unit has a low battery light to tell you when it is time to change the battery. I have used my unit since 10/27/11 and have not needed to install a battery yet. I personally think it is a tremendous value for the money!

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

No, it does not count steps. you need a pedometer for that. Amazon lists several.

Maria, I didn't get that far. I could walk for 1/2 hour and it would register 78 steps. I was too frustrated and too busy to hassle with trying to return it.

It's definitely not this one. I've had to resort to "guesstimating" distance by number of steps taken using known distances to give me a target number of steps. Haven't been happy with this pedometer, but the price was good and accuracy isn't really a detractor for me as I just need approximate distances. Calorie counts? Forgedda about it!

No, It has worked on me. I am still using it and no evidence if change. I am doing the steps faithfully. I would not recommend it

I bought the FitBit Ultra about 3 weeks ago directly from FitBit and use it in conjunction with LoseIt.com for weight loss management. Unfortunately, I have found that the FitBit records steps when I ride my bicycle. No way to turn it off, though you can go through a convoluted process to "blank out" the time you were on your bike and not have those steps count. Too much time keeping exercise. They simply need to add a way to turn the darn thing off and back on. It's really not of much use for my purposes. It was a pretty expensive mistake for me. Should have read more about it.

Not really, it closes as you release the step peddle. So, if you just remove your foot the top would drop down; but if you slowly release the peddle the top would slowly close.

Hi DorisI haven't tried using it on steps yet. I'll get back to you on that.

I have seen it show steps right after I turn off my sleep mode. I just thought it from picking it up and moving with it.

No, I have had no problem with false alarms. I am very satisfied with this economical product.

Steps are not accurate if you are not swinging your watch arm in conjunction with your feet. For example, I was walking on the treadmill at a very steep incline today and chose to hold onto the handrails for balance, and only 30% of my steps were recorded.

no, it's not. I had to take my bed off the sleigh frame and drop it to the floor. this set of steps would be even better with one more step. It's perfect for the sofa's in my house though.

No, there is a sensor that detects stairs and it turns away. I have seen it work several times and nothing bad has happened yet.
