Ozeri 4x3runner Pocket 3D Pedometer and Activity Tracker with Dual Walking & Running Mode Technology

I haven't played with too many of the features, but this seems like a high quality pedometer. I don't believe in running unless I'm being chased by a bear, but I do think it's cool that you can track both running and walking. The choice of clips is nice too so it's convenient no matter what you're wearing or doing. It's also nice that you can set a goal for yourself as far as how many steps you would like to get in. You can change it at any time of course. I like that it gives you an idea of just how much walking and "running around" you really do in a day. I set it at a mere 1,000 steps and I was already at that by 10am or so on the first day. (And I'm a late sleeper, like, 8am, most days. ;) ) The only minor complaint that I have is that it does seem a little sensitive, as far as getting jostled around and counting steps you didn't REALLY take, but it's not too bad.

Writing this review from the perspective of someone who wants a ped for accurate walking and jogging distance, but is not interested in tracking cumulative 24/7 movements. Most of the newer brands focus on 24/7 and automatic midnight resets, which is not how I exercise; I like to track/record walking/jogging as discrete events. Amazingly, many of the new models don't have a manual reset--you have to wait for midnight to reset for the next event. What a brain cramp! So good points first: 1.Ozeri has manual reset (as well as all the auto 24/7 features). 2. After 27 separate walk and 3-mile jog tests, step accuracy in direct, consistent walking and jogging is 99%+ (less than 1% error). For those interested in full 24/7 movements, I would say this ped is sensitive and accurate, but rightfully somewhat dampened so it doesn't record every little wave of your hand as a step as some others do. 3. Operating buttons are easy to find but not easily accidentally disturbed, so you won't finish to find you've inadvertently ruined your recording. 4. Strong clip. Screen easy to read. Comes with lanyard some might use. 5. As is the case with most peds, recording in walk mode begins automatically when you move. But to record in jog mode you have to proactively press Start--a good thing because it ensures your jog data is isolated and controlled. This also starts the timer. You may have to work at remembering to press Start for jogging if you're used to auto starts, but I like it that way. Minor dislikes: 1. Instructions say stride input increments are only in gross 0.5 of a foot, which makes your heart sink until you later find that's a typo and it really increments in 0.1 foot. First ped I've had that inputs stride in feet rather than inches, but no problem. 2. Having % of 24 hour Goal constantly on display in lower left corner is annoying, 'cause I don't use it. 3. Default starting screen display shows time of day and steps, whereas I'd prefer to have default show steps and miles. Overall an accurate, sturdy, nice-looking ped.

We purchased eight of these for a year long company walking competition. We are extremely pleased with them. Pros: Battery life - The batteries lasted all year, even with frequent walking and checking of monthly totals. (update: Now had it almost three years and only changed battery once.) Accuracy - I've tested it many times for both walking and jogging. For walks/jogs of more than 10 steps, it is very very accurate. It works well positioned at the hip, in the pocket, in the purse, in your palm (while jogging), or in other positions other than right in the center of your body. Accessories - Something for everyone. 30 day step log - The previous 30 days of activity (daily and total step counts) are shown. This is perfect for an office walking competition. Small size Price - very reasonable! Durability - I've dropped mine in puddles, I've bumped it into things in the woods. No issues. Quality - No issues in almost three years of use. Cons: No USB, Wi-Fi or other such connectivity features. Doesn't track stairs Note: The pedometer starts tracking steps when you start moving, but doesn't count them until you have gone 10 steps. So if you walk only nine steps and stop, you get credit for zero. If you walk 10 steps and stop, you get 10. If you walk 11 steps and stop you get 11... This is probably some type of battery saving mechanism. I'm fine with it because under 10 steps, you don't get any cardio anyway.

There are only a few buttons to setup a ton of useless features and it's like trying to crack a safe--without the right combination you are just not getting it open/working. I gave up and returned it. Thank goodness I found my FitBit again that I thought I had lost! I'm back walking with it and am happy again. I like simple, functional and practical--and this was none of those!

It does exactly what I want a pedometer to do but had not been able to find in other ones. By switching to the jog mode it will record my walks around the park as separate events or it will track any specific walk I take and at the end of the day I can review each one. Just enter the same stride length for both the steps and jog modes. I don't ever actually jog; really, get serious. And while recording these walks it still counts these steps toward my daily steps total without me needing to do anything. I carry it in the front pocket of my jeans and don't notice it. It is easy to read the display during the day but needs a street light to read it at night. It seems to be accurate and consistent (once I got my stride length right) and well made too. I couldn't be more please it. Oh, and the price is great too, a real bargain compared to the fancier ones whose features are useless to me.

As an owner of several Ozeri 4x3razors, which are no longer available on Amazon (Jan 2024), the 4x3runner is a big step down. By design, the 4x3runner will refuse to count many steps of many activities: some exercises, dancing, an uneven or slow gait and others. This is mentioned in the printed material only. The 4x3runner fails at its primary purpose, counting steps. (I'd rather have an over count error than an under count.) The device is twice as thick as a 4x3razor, probably to accommodate the slightly larger battery, since the 4x3razor originally needed a battery change about every 5 months, which was nonetheless acceptable. The larger device is more apt to snag on outer clothing so the lanyard and alligator clip are a requirement, more so even than the thinner device. I don't need the "runner" features so they wind up making the device more complicated and difficult to view. There's also something strange about the mostly-on screen, which is difficult to read at many angles such as looking down to a belt without tilting the device upward. Even though the 4x3razor would stop working after a couple of years, like most pedometers, particularly mechanical ones, I hoped to get a decent replacement. I didn't.

Can't tell you how many brands and models I've tried- only to have them fail within a few days, weeks or months. This one is still going strong-it surprised me. Although it is not just a simple pendulum type, I don't get worked up over "accuracy" issues- if you walk 5,000 - 12,000 steps, it should vary only a little between models. Most models I have tried have fallen within 5% of each other at this level of activity. After all, you just want to repeat or slightly increase over what you did the day before-- it's all relative. What's needed is a display that doesn't fade, controls that don't go berserk, and a cheap battery that is easy to replace. This has it all. Extra features (calorie counts, distance, etc.) are not as important as recording the daily total of steps. This one does 30 days, which is not bad. So far, I have not lost or broken any part of it, and it generally does not fall off (if you have the safely cord attached). I have dropped it a couple of times, but it kept on ticking...

I used to buy cheap pedometers that has to be manually reset each day. Then I found the Ozeri 4x3razor Tri-Axis pedometer. That was probably the best pedometer I've ever used except for the limited 7 days memory. When the Ozeri 4x3razor failed within a year of usage, I searched for another one and found the Ozeri 4x3runner. What caught my attention was the 30 days memory. Comparing the two pedometers, here are some of the positives and negatives. 4x3razor Positives + Very small and thin + Very reliable + Caloric count distinguishes between fast/brisks walks and slow walks Negatives - Kept falling out of the belt clip - Failed within a year 4x3runner Positives + very reliable + 30 day memory! + Belt clip very strong Negatives - Does not distinguish between fast/brisk walk and slow walk in caloric count - Not as thin as 4x3razor The main negative for me is that this does not distinguish between fast and brisk walking versus slow walking. I tested it out, walking a mile very slow in 30 minutes with many stops and walking a mile in a brisk 12 minutes; the caloric count was the same. The 4x3razor distinguished between the two so it gives me an incentive to do brisk walks. This is the only weakness of this pedometer and is a deal-breaker for me. When I get a future pedometer, unless this option is added in, I will probably not get this again.

Fácil de usar. A mi mamá le encantó

I'm working on a healthier lifestyle and this was a great purchase to push me along! It was super easy to set up and it's small enough that I have it on all day without noticing. It seems to be very accurate and works when I'm walking or biking (I put it on my shoe for biking). It has definitely helped in encouraging me to get my 10,000 steps a day!

Really great and easy to use! Already used on my workout and love it! Calorie counter too!

il manuale non e' in lingua italiani e le misure non sono metriche,difficoltoso da usare,sconsigliato

Article très joli et très léger mais pas un mot de français, ni sur la notice ni sur l’appareil. Compte bien les pas mais la distance est affichée en miles... 😏
