Walk With Me! Do You Know Your Walking Routine? - Includes Two Activity Meters (Nintendo DS)

I already had an Omron pedometer ( Omron Walking Style II Pedometer ), which is one of the best you can get but it only stores your walking history for a week and I liked the idea of having a record over a much longer period. So when I got Walk with Me I was able to compare the Nintendo pedometer with the Omron one. I didn't expect the Nintendo pedometer to be all that accurate, but actually both pedometers gave similar readings on a day when I went on a really big walk. Both the Omron and the Nintendo versions ignore the first ten seconds of walking to avoid counting coughing etc, but the Omron adds those first steps back into the count if you carry on walking, so it consistently awarded me more steps than the Walk with Me one, especially on days when I was at my desk a lot and there were many trips to make coffee etc... I quite like the fact that the Nintendo is a hard taskmaster - it makes you walk more.So, here is my list of pros and cons, based mainly on the comparison with a more traditional pedometer:ProsReally small, light and neat - about half the size of my Omron Walking Style II - and no one will notice you wearing it under a sweater, eg.Said to be waterproof (though I didn't try this).Keeps records for months on end so you can really chart your progress.Gives you a chart showing when you walked actively so you can see your rhythm.Compares you with an animal, which is fun and inspiring.Is pretty accurate and, if anything, underestimates your steps, making you walk more.ConsDoesn't count the calories (unlike the Omron Walking Style II) so you can't tell how many snacks you can freely eat!Doesn't measure the distance covered (unlike the Omron Walking Style II), which would be a nice feature.Doesn't have a safety line, unlike the Omron Walking Style II which does. In fact, sad to say, I lost my Nintendo pedometer just two months after purchase..

This game / fitness tracker is great fun originally released for the Nintendo DS it also works in the 3DS and 2DS systems it utilizes the infrared port to transmit data from the two pedometers included to record your steps during the day the pedometers themselves are quite accurate as I have a Fitbit which I have tried them against. The game itself although simplistic adds an extra angle to keeping fit and you can add up to an extra two trackers to the one game cartridge making a total of 4 so that a family could use this with the one cartridge. It also suggests and has an option in the game for you to add it to a dog to check his or her steps overall great fun well worth the money

I bought this as I lost my little gadget and needed a replacement.i take it out most days and get quite cheered when it reaches the target i set, though it doesnt always detect my activity. it doesnt know when you go uphill and have to walk harder but it does have some great sarcasm in the review. I was working online one day and must have taken a break, later that evening it came to a dead spot where i appeared to have done nothing at all, then suddenly a movement, the mii asked, "what happened, did someone call your name?" cheeky! Sets little targets for you to achieve, such as make sure you have regular meals today, think about your posture while you walk and walk as much as you can and others.....of course its up to you whether you do them or not, you can still get a smiley face 'sticker' on the date either way.I have tried this gadget on my bra strap, in my bra, in my socks and in my pocket and tied to my ankle, so lots of options.

Bought this to measure how much we moved. Thought I'd be streets ahead of the other half, wrong! Very useful as it gives minute by minute breakdowns and compares you with others. It reckons it only counts the front paws for the dog, but she's wiping the floor with us both, though wagging her tail seems to knock her count up too. Nice to know how much we move in these lazy, office based or TV watching times but likely to become boring after a while. Will be fun while it lasts though and is making us more aware of just how lazy we've become.

I have been using this gadget for a number of years to ensure that I achieve a daily walking target as part of living a healthy lifestyle. My partner carries one too, and we compare our achievements at the end of the day, just as we are about to settle down with our feet up in front of the television. Sometimes the meters are reading red and we then have to get out of our chairs, dress up to go out, and get that meter reading green! One tip: I carry the meter in a small bag in my pocket. I find that it is easier to find and less likely to get lost when emptying pockets (I had one that ended up in the washing machine!).

Item arrived two days before delivery date - bonus. Service good and description of product correct. I was originally looking for a pedometer but I came across this item and thought it would be a good start to monitoring my walking and a bit of fun too as you can compete with another person. I started using the activity meter straight away. I have one and my husband has the other so we compete with each other for the most steps. Shame it doesn't measure distance as well but it's still interesting to see what your movements are for the day. It even measures you when you are cycling, hence it is more about your 'activity' rather than just walking.

I bought this so that I had an incentive to walk more. Especally on shorter journeys. It has worked perfectly! I am able to see the different rhythms that I have to my exercise on different days and I'm in competition with my husband to see who can do the most steps in one day. My only niggle is that the pedometer is not sensitive enough to react to small steps - I'm on my feet all day, wandering around a small space and the rhythm shows this as a period of inactivity. I'm definately not inactive in that time!Overall a great gadget.

I bought this to replace the first Two I bought a good few year's ago, after much use, It really helps me to keep a check on my self, love taking it to the Jym and seeing just how many step's I have walked, it's also fun playing the game on my Dsi XL Thank you for the good service that you give to your customers, I would shop with you again.
