i need to know if this is the only item i need or if I have to buy a special watch or apps on a cell phone. I just want to know how many steps I do in one day and I want a foot pedometer not on the waist .

This requires one of several Garmin GPS watches to work, such as the 310xt, 910xt, etc. It is not a standalone device. I don't know of any phone apps that can be used with it.

Hi Pam! No, this particular model doesn't tell you the time that you walked/ran. It gives you an all day total of steps, and how many miles those steps equals.

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

well its monitors your heart rate if you want to calculate distance you will have to get one of two things you can either get a foot pedometer or can buy a Bluetooth heart rate monitor that will work with a phone device and your watch

No, you need a Nintendo DS, DS lite, DSi or 3DS along with a Pokemon Soul Silver or Heart Gold game. You can contact/request that the seller put a Pokemon in the Pokewalker before buying it and then it can work as a standalone pedometer.

Do you wear wear something on your wrist now? If so are you willing to wear something else or instead? Do you need a device that is water resistant? Do you want a device that shows data (steps, etc.) on the device itself, or are you willing to look at your phone app/computer dashboard for details? Do you want to track flights of stairs?

Yes! You will be directed to the fitbit website and will see all the same information you would see via phone or ipad. The fitbit is awesome for tracking and giving you the motivation to move!

I wear my digiwalker everyday all day to get the full benefits of a pedometer. Aiming for 10,000 steps daily. Hope this has been helpful to you.

The FitBit Flex does not show the number of steps. You would have to look on the dashboard or on your mobile app for exact steps.

Yes. Also your steps, height you have climbed, total miles, calories burned and your heart rate and O2 measurement. Plus the sleep monitor which you can sync with your smartphone. Love it.

you can edit your steps. I do it at night when I load my band up. It is great to beat your goal and adjust your new one. Your calorie intake is your responsibility. The more steps... the more calories you burn. I hope I helped you!

It does not count steps, but it's great for walking & running. It tracks mileage and calories, and you can set intervals up as well.

If you have a simple dirt path to train on, not rocky, not full of holes to walk around or take a long step over, no logs to climb over or creep under, no steep inclines that shorten your step, then Yes, you can use any pedometer. But a real trail, no.

I either wear mine on a lanyard around my next and it counts steps very well. Riding a stationary bike, not as accurate. Sometimes I carry it in my pocket and it will count the steps no problem.

No. There is app you can download on your smartphone to figure out how many steps you have taken each day.

I'm guessing you mean the pedometer? I think it works as well as pedometers in general work. I've never owned a pedometer that was 100% accurate. I bought the watch for my dad so I haven't used it myself. He hasn't complained that it doesn't work but he feels like I do, not many pedometers are accurate.
