It does count the number of steps, however the screen messed up on mine within a week so I could not read the numbers.

Yes it does. Totally accurate??? Not sure but close enough. I have found this to be a very good product and would recommend it.

I do not believe so; it is very basic and easy to use. Just walk and it counts the steps. Hope this information helps you make a decision.

Sorry no, but you could keep a record of the steps and then calculate each walk.

Yes, if you mean real physical steps and you keep going and not take over four seconds per step. However, if your using a stair climber and your not constant stride even a second between steps then no it won't count.

Yes, it resets every day, and the steps in one setting show the accumulated number of steps taken.

No. It does calculate total steps as well as aerobic steps. So if you walked up the stairs aerobically (more than 60 steps per minute I believe) it would count those steps separately.

Not really. It registers a certain number of hits, and then signals and turns off when the total number of hits is reached. But there's no way to tell how many hits you've sustained until then.

I am sure it would. It seems to count every step I take from morning to night and some of them are slow.

Yes. You get a day's total of steps. It also records what it terms "ex time" which I guess they mean is the amount of time you exercise.

I do not think it counts steps. It's basically a GPS on your wrist and tracks miles and speed very well. My wife loves it.

It will since you are moving more it will assume you are taking more steps. Where you will see this is in the active mode? The application for this calculates a number of things, steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned, sleep activity. I only do steps and miles. Calories isn't good because it does this by calculating what it believes someone with a specific weight would burn over a given period of time. Actually if you sat on the coach and swung your arm back and forth it will assume those are steps as well.

Yes it does. Besides the number of steps it also provides the # of hours slept, how many miles you have walked and # of calories burnt.

Eh at best it's just an estimate. I've hit my steps total sitting in my armchair watching TV before. You can change the sensitivity settings online, or you can wear it on your non-dominant hand to decrease sensitivity if it's a concern for you, but looking at the phone app and watching the steps register while I walked or just waved my arms standing still gives a good indication of what is going to register as a step and it does a decent enough job.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

Yes it does. It takes a few steps for it to resume again, so if you stop often, your steps may be short a bit.

No, the flex does not show the actual number (although the the fitbit Force does). The Flex just shows dots as a percentage of your daily goal. I am okay with it because if I want to know the exact number of steps I simply sync with my phone.

You need to take about 30 0r so steps before it starts counting, but once it does it catches up. If you are still for a while it will do the same thing.
