3. Precision
Pedometer precision varies according to how you walk. Average variation is
around 10%.
However it may deteriorate according to product position, walking environment
or usage.
This product is not designed for running use or hiking on hilly or uneven terrain
because the readings will be highly inaccurate. (does not take into account
ascents/descents) What's more, walking on soft or muddy ground gives
readings that are approximately 5% inaccurate.

This
pedometer
is
designed
measuring
the
different
walking
ground. Technically, these parameters
are measured by recording the shock
waves that occur when your foot hits
the ground, which means that your
product must be attached to your hip
(trouser or short belt).
Your pedometer measures and differentiates between walking and active
walking in order to encourage you to walk more and at a faster pace than normal.
This concept is linked to the recommendation given by the World
Health Organization (W.H.O.) to walk at a fast pace for 30 minutes
a day. Active walking is walking at a fast pace and is very good for your health
(helps to prevent obesity, cardio-vascular illnesses, anxiety) according to the
W.H.O.
A patented algorithm has been put together by Oxylane's R&D services, that
height. Above this threshold (walking pace...) you are in active walking, the
Brisk walking trigger point according to your height:
