Excellent pedometer, but..... Jul 19, 2007
By Gary D. Walborn I recently started a diet and was looking for a pedometer to use while on vacation to count my steps. I looked a number of pedometers that go on your belt when it occurred to me that I had seen pedometer watches. I did a little research and found only two brands, and one received consistently bad reviews. I purchased the Tech 4 O for about $40. It had generally good reviews about the pedometer part and so-so reviews about the construction (particularly the bezel). The watch came and I took it to Toronto for a long weekend. I must say that the pedometer in this watch is RIGHT ON! It does a very good job of counting steps but you must remember to put it in pedometer mode before you start walking. On the "down" side, I bumped (lightly) a wall with the watch and the bezel popped off. I had read about that before, but assumed that the user had hit the watch against something pretty hard. WRONG! It takes very little to dislodge the bezel from the front of the watch. Rather than return the watch, I used a little "crazy glue" to re-secure the bezel and it has been fine ever since. The manufacturer really needs to find a new way to secure the bezel. All and all, I've been VERY pleased with the watch. It is a little hard to program, because it only has 4 buttons and they perform a large number of functions, but once you learn the scheme, the watch performs very well. I recommend this watch for anyone who doesn't want to bother with two devices and likes the idea of always having a pedometer handy! (BTW, beware of the Timex watch that says "Timex Watch With Pedometer". This is EXACTLY what it says, a Timex watch WITH a SEPARATE, belt-mounted pedometer! Read the ad carefully!

Awesome Watch! Jan 11, 2007
By GM I've used many running watches before but they've all been clunky and impossible to use. My brother recommended I try the Tech4o (Tech-four-oh)Accelerator because it is really slick. I'm glad I did because this is by far the easiest watch I have ever used.
Its not like other watches that make it a miserable chore to control the features. All you have to do is fine tune the Pedometer just the way you like it and you're off and running! It's that easy! Plus, I never have to measure out routes anymore because the watch measures distance for me. Its so accurate that I can just go run and choose my route as I go!
I love the way it tracks my Calories burned on each run. Its damn accurate for the average runner too. No more using lousy Calorie calculators and adding up tons of figures in my head. With this watch I wanted to go out and exercise just because it was no longer a hassle to keep track of everything!
Take it from me, a one-time couch potato who is now an avid runner. The Tech4o Accelerator is a great investment for any health-conscious person looking to have all the right gear!

Great Watch Apr 11, 2007
By Jill M. Stecher

You will love this watch if you know how to read instruction manuals. If you cannot read an instruction manual I doubt you will find the watch of much use. Being that I CAN read instruction manuals I am very pleased with this watch. It helps me get my 10,000 steps per day, everyday. I do agree it would be nice if the pedometer didn't time out but it does. I just simply remember to check it often- which has become a habit for me. It sure beats all those clip on pedometers- which aren't very accurate and break easily. I was going tnrough about 1 of those every 6 weeks! I Love my Tech4O watch!

Not so good Nov 05, 2007
By Runner The pedometer was accurate, but the distance takes a lot of tweaking to get accurate. And even so, if you lengthen your srides or shorten them midrun, the watch won't be very precise. However, it does do a very rough job of estimating distance.
Other functions of the watch are fine, if not a little less solid than just an ordinary digital watch. It was a little large on me.
The best way to measure distance is to use an online map, or get to know your pace and measure time. It makes you a much better runner than this watch can.

Poor quality; cannot use pedometer to track daily # of steps Nov 26, 2008
By Steve Ko My intended use for this watch was to keep track of the number of steps I take each day with the goal of taking 10,000 steps a day. I was hoping that this watch would alleviate me of the need to carry a separate pedometer. Unfortunately, it has not. The one fatal flaw is that you have to put the watch into a special "pedometer" mode in order for it to count steps. This would not be so bad except for the fact that the watch automatically exits pedometer mode when you stop taking steps for a while. The end result is that you have to monitor your watch all day and make sure it is in pedometer mode. This makes it pretty much useless for my intended use.
My other complaint is that it is NOT water resistant to 50M as advertised. I splashed some water on it from the sink while shaving and a few days later I noticed condensation in the inside of the plastic bezel!
The user interface is a bit tricky, but once you figure it out how to navigate the menu system, it is fairly intuitive.
