I have compared the milage by the watch and my iphone pedometer and they are the same. I do not think it overestimates the milage and therefore the steps.JTH September 27, 2013

I have some of this problem too and not accurate at all, such a wasted of money. So, I don't use it anymore.

I changed the sense level to the least sensitive level. I noticed it's a little better that way. I still notice that extreme hand movements like hand clapping still get counted though.

Same as below, adjust the sensitivity in the set up process. It is not perfect, running on the treadmill with my watch hand holding my hair off my neck and it missed counting steps. Pretty accurate though!

Hi I am happy to help. With a knife very carefully gently leaver off the piece just behind the clock face hold the actual clock piece in your hand and on the side of it you will see a small knob just like an ordinary wrist watch, again pull it gently and you should be able to adjust the time I hope that helps you

It's my understanding that if you move the scale you need to recalibrate it. That, if I remember, involved stepping on it and then stepping off. It think as with any device or instrument of this kind the less it gets moved the better.

Sharon I hadn't really thought about that but when I read your question I took it out of the box & turned it on. I made sounds as singing different notes and the hand started going to different notes and working. It did just like when I used it to tune my violin. I hope this helps you.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

Best to detach watch band from watch (I didn't) ... lay band flat with arrows on back of band going away from the device that will be pushing the pin out. Be careful to line up the pin that is pushing to the hole in the watch band (try this only on links that have an arrow) .. turn handle to push pin out of the link (if lined up, comes out easily) ... My first pin came out easily, then I broke 4 pins trying to get the next pin out to remove the link, because I didn't have it lined up right. the pins will break if not lined up properly. After getting 2 pins out and removing the link, replace one pin to reconnect the links (push in and then tap in until it is in all the way and you are done. there seems to be another knob on the side that I'm not sure how to use or what the purpose is unless it is to finely adjust the position, so you can line up the pin to push it out. Be patient and be sure to line it up or you will break the pins, like I did. I was cautious with the last one (because I only had one left) and got the job done. If this instruction doesn't help enough, I would suggest searching on-line and you should be able to find a video showing exactly how to use the device to remove this type of watch link.

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.

do you have the software for the wouxun? I add the freq. and it took it. also set freq in radio to make 5khz steps.
1771407
No, the steps can not be made smaller. That many devisions would make the dial huge. Also it is unnecessary because an increase of one beat going from 80 to 81 beats per minute for example would be unnoticeable to the human ear.If you need it to increase by one, try pro metronome app on an iPhone or a similar app on a different smart phone.

There is a setting on the radio for the frequency step. How much the frequency changes with each twist of the nob or using up and down keys. Make sure it is set to 5 khz. It comes default at a higher setting. That should fix your problem.

I don't use the silly device. It is a total waste of money. Both the original model and now this one. Instead I'm using the 20 year old Casio B.O.S.S. It does a better job, it's a heck of a lot more useful. There are several offered on Ebay. They are all vintage machines but darn near indestructible. That's why so many are still around.

Well you turn the time knob. That's how the tempo of the delay is set. If you mean does it do regular tap tempo then no. It only let's you strum the tempo.

It might be defective programming that it was given. If you want to keep it, just adjust the timing.

What is the purpose? Are you trying to jam along to the track and have the bass line be a perfect loop every time? If that is the case then yes, have him play to a click. If you plug in directly or from a bass amp you can set the sample to start recording when he starts playing, but you will have to manually end the loop at the end of the measure or phrase. Then listen back to it and see how it sounds, if its not perfect you can edit the start/end point of the loop. It can be difficult to get a perfect loop but not impossible. Hopefully that helps!

it's hit or miss on that one. it's an actual casio part. I hope it works for you as it did not work for mine.

Hi, Regina! I just tried it out on the tuner, and it does indeed tune down to 432! I didn't see just how far down it will go - guessing you're a Baroque player? If you would like me to check how far down it will tune (415 or 392), let me know. This is a great little tuner, and does all my old one did and more - for about 1/3 the cost!!

You should have received directions to program the watch included with the watch. Below is a brief description of how to program the watch. This is not a replacement for the directions you should use. Basically, press the lower left-hand side button to get to the various areas you wish to program. Pressing it once when the month and date are shown and you will see the word "chrono" displayed followed by "STP" This is the stop watch mode. press the upper right hand button and you will see "Run" displayed and the stop watch starts. When you want to stop the stop watch, press the upper left-hand button once and see "STP displayed and the stop watch stops running. Press the upper left-hand button again and the display is reset to 000. Press the lower left hand button again and see data. I've never used this feature so I can't give you any information about it. The instruction sheet should be of help. If you didn't get the sheet, ask the seller to send it to you. Press the upper left hand button again and see "Tmr" (timer) displayed. Use the other buttons to set how long you want to set the timer for. After the set time expires, your watch will beep. Press the upper left hand button again and "AL" (alarm) will be displayed. Use the other buttons to display the time you want to set the alarm for and the watch will beep when the set time elapses. Press the upper left hand button again to display DT (time in another time zone). Press the upper left hand button one more time and you will see "Time" displayed followed by something like MO-21 for Monday the 21st.
