Sportline 340 Pedometer

This is a simple and inexpensive model of pedometer. It counts steps and distance, just set your stride length and away you go. This unit has an improved and advanced pendulum mechanism. It did compare well with a more advanced pedometer worn at the same time for accuracy.

The 340 does not have a protective cover but does have recessed buttons that are hard to push accidentally. It also has a plastic waist belt clip but does not come with a safety leash. The modes are toggling between step counting and distance and will count up to 99,999 steps and 1000 miles.

Because this unit uses a pendulum mechanism inside it does rattle a little bit. It also has a large readout display, a replaceable battery and a 1 year warranty. All in all a decent pedometer.

Sportline 346 Niteview Pedometer

The 346 is a walking (steps) pedometer that can be read in miles or kilometers. It is perfect for those who walk at night or in low light conditions as it has an illuminated screen. It also allows the user to set the stride length in increments of .1 feet for greater accuracy. This unit will also record up to 1,000 miles or kilometers.

The only drawbacks to this model are no safety strap and no cover over the face of the unit which means it could easily be reset.

Sportline Qlip 310 Pedometer

This small rounded device can be clipped anywhere on the body like a bra on your sock or put in your pocket. It needs to stay vertical within a 30 degree angle and your ok. This unit will count steps, calculate calories burned and with it’s time function it can estimate speed and activity time but will not filter out junk steps and it has a holster clip that is removable.

This unit has a single reset button and can count to 999,999 steps. Even though there is no cover, the buttons are recessed to make it hard to accidentally reset and the motion sensor mechanism (Infiniti motion sensor technology) inside does make a soft click when being used. There is a replaceable battery and there is a 1 year warranty.

Sportline TraQ Pedometer 370

The 370 is loaded with features that you can use. It uses their Infinity motion sensor technology that is very quiet in use. This unit also boasts of a pacing tone to help set your stride and pacing. Other features are step counting, calorie calculation, distance estimation, goal countdown, seven day memory, stopwatch and calendar, alarm and separate calibrations for walking and running.

Once you set your stride length you are ready to go. It is recommended that when wearing, not to allow the unit to exceed 30 degrees past vertical as to affect its accuracy. This model comes with a replaceable battery and a 1 year warranty. This unit can’t be beat for the features.

One complaint that has been noted is that the audible pacing tone is hard to hear. That would be understandable on a noisy road but might be ok in a country type area.
