Product Description
Whether you are a hardcore adventure hiker, an avid runner, or simply looking to count your doctor's recommended 10k steps a day, an Accelerator Series watch fits the bill. Advanced accelerometer Technology provides highly accurate readings of a users speed, distance, and caloric expenditure via a simple wrist watch sensor, eliminating the need for funny looking foot pods or belt clip sensors. Accelerometer Technology is 95+% accurate, and much more dependable than traditional pendulum type (ball bearing) pedometers. GPS based running products are super-expensive, super-complicated, and arent very reliable for indoor training or under heavy tree cover. The Accelerator Series is the perfect combination of accurate readings, simplicity of use, and stylish design.
I've only had this watch for a few days and it has worked great so far. I am not an expert at configuring pedometers and everything else the watch does so I had to call Tech4O customer service. To my surprise a very nice lady answered at the beginning of the second ring. We had a great conversation and she helped me program all necessary functions on my watch. I had dialed the 800 number from my speaker phone because I thought I would be on hold forever, navigating through prompts, and praying for a pulse. But no, I had a surprisingly refreshing experience with a very nice helpful person. I highly recommend this company and product.
I purchased this watch for myself and the women's version for my wife. We have been extremely happy with them. They give you so much information about your workout that it almost makes it fun.
My husband and I bought this watch for our son in law for Christmas. He used it that very day to run with and was very excited about all of the information that was available to him. We enjoyed giving him something that he really liked and could use.
My husband is an avid runner and loves the watch! He had to adjust the stride length a few times to get the most accurate results, but otherwise it's an awesome watch.
Plastic watches feel cheap. Its not their fault, they just do. This watch is like an ugly car with a race car engine. I love the features. I appreciate the automatic reset for counting distance and I am impressed with the accuracy. Its amazing that this watch can tell the difference between walking and running and that it is accurate even if I have my hands in my pocket instead of swinging around. I haven't used the speed function, because I'm not that fast and by the time I think of that function, I'm just standing and my speed is zero. The same is true with the calories counter, although I just think that's worthless as a feature anyway.The included manual seems cramped and poorly written, but the online guide is great. Again, I wish there was a version of this watch in metal.
I bought this for my husband to help us train to walk a marathon. He is a beginner and wanted something that was easy to use and provided speed as well as the steps/distance that my pedometer shows. This is perfect and we've found it to be very accurate too. It's best when used while walking, as other movements can throw it off a little. Since that's what we got it for, we are both very pleased with the results. It's nice that he doesn't have to use GPS and we don't have to wait until we're home to figure out the speed we're moving.
I tried quite some pedometer and stop watch combining devices, among others from Puma and Casio. Let me say: none of the more expansive devices came even close to what this little sweetie can do!
Distance measurement is as accurate as a pedometer can be! My accuracy is close to 98%! Well, this only works if you run the same speed every time. But that's part of the calibration phase (that is really important): learn your stride width first and then adjusting it is really easy!
I cannot say that using (or: setting up) the device is difficult or that the manual is inappropriate (as some users here stated)! To my mind: using this device is as easy as can be - we are talking operating a watch with a whole bunch of functions, memory access, etc. The menu structure is well though of and it is easy to operate with 4 buttons!!
I can only recommend this item! For this price (and also for the double price) you will not get a better device that combines a pedometer and stop watch...
I'm using this watch for a couple of months now and i'm running around 20 miles per week. i can't say that this watch is accurate anymore as stride lengths vary over 10 mile runs, so the margin of error is usually between 0.250 and 0.500 miles over a 10 mile. if u are satisfied with approximate distances than this is great, for more accuracy i don't see a solution other than a GPS.
-------------------------------------
First impression:
I am using this watch for a month now, i've done some mileage(30-40 miles) on it plus a 5 k race... The key is the initial calliberation. you need to know your AVERAGE stride length when running.for me,i have longer strides when i begin running and then shorter strides towards the end of my run. You have to run at least a 5 km (measuring it either by car or GPS) and then divide the 5 km by the number of strides you made to know your average stride length(in inches).it turned out that for me it is 49"(i'm 6'2"), although i start with a 51" strides...(you also need to measure your walking stride length using the same method). It will not be accurate if you just calculated your stride length over a one loop on the 0.25 mile track. After knowing the 49", it is working perfectly.It saves all my runs by day(one week history) and then accumulates the runs and saves them by week, pretty useful.It is my first pedometer by its accuracy cannot be questioned because i have a GPS as well and it is pretty precise.of course you need to keep your hand moving and not lift it still every couple of minutes...
There is a sort of glare under trees but you still can manage to see,also the buttons sometimes get pressed accidentally (just regular hand activity).
till this day,I am very satisfied with it. I also wear it to work as it isn't bulky and looks "acceptable" with its black color and design.
The watch is good, but there it has a bad reflection.
It's hard to see the top part of the display. You can't see
the distance display.
Is the other TECH40 watches the same. The round plastic has
a really bad reflection that makes it hard to see.
I have the runner's watch with the oval ring. One of the things I couldn't find when shopping was the size. The crystal is 1 inch; the case outside size is 1-5/8 inch. This watch is the best pedometer. I love how it automatically distinguishes between running and walking to measure distance, speed.
1. Two things about the domed crystal. There is always a glare which makes it difficult to read. A flat crystal doesn't have the same glare problem. The dome is also prone to scratching, I have already scuffed mine after only 3 weeks.
2. The buttons are too easily accidentally activated. Half the time when I look to see the time, the watch is some other mode and I have to fiddle with buttons to see the time.
3. In exercise mode, time is only recorded to the nearest second, and the chronometer can not be operated at the same time as the pedometer.
4. One needs to be aware that the exercise mode starts automatically when one enters that mode (after a few seconds delay) It is easy to unintentionally add to one's exercise record if one does not remember to stop it while looking at the data.
Overall I give the watch 5 stars as a pedometer, 4 stars on syle, and 3 stars on the watch.
