Product Description
pWhether 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 user s 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 aren t 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.bPedometer/bbr liHighly accurate step counter with adjustable sensitivity allows users to tune the sensors to their individual walking style. Doctors everywhere are now recommending 10k steps a day to maintain a healthier lifestyle. liAll sensors are contained in a simple wrist watch. That means no funny looking mechanical belt clips our funky shoe pods liGet off the beaten path! Free yourself from mileage markers at the track or trail! Pick a new route every day! The Accelerator can automatically distinguish between running and walking and can calculate your average speed distance caloric expenditure and total exercise time. liThe Accelerator has a delayed step counter feature that differentiates between ancillary movements and actual steps. This feature provides users with the most accurate results by delaying calculation until it has registered 10 steps in a row to eliminate overly sensitive step counting. liThe smart scheduling features allows users to set the pedometer to automatically start/stop counting steps at a predetermined time every day so you ll never forget to turn it on brbPersonal Profile/bbr liThis feature allows users to customize their watch to their spe

Never lose track of time no matter where you are. /ulp strongDaily Alarm Mode/strongul liWe are all creatures of habit in our daily routines. The daily alarm is a great way to set a daily reminder or morning wake up alarm. /ulp strongHow the Technology Works/strongbr The underlying technology in the Accelerator Series Watches is an accelerometer sensor. Accelerometers are used to measure acceleration. Originally developed during the Space Race to replace outdated gyroscopes, accelerometers can be found in a diverse range of today?s products such as automobile air bags and tilt meters. In the Accelerator watch, a user's movement (acceleration) produces varying degrees of electric current within the sensor, allowing the watch to detect different levels of acceleration, and therefore measure speed and distance.p Another way to explain how an accelerometer sensor works is to envision a marble in a bowl. When the bowl is moved, or accelerated, the marble inside will roll (accelerate) along the bottom and sides of the bowl. When the bowl is accelerated faster, the marble will move a greater distance up the sides. The accelerometer sensor in the Accelerator Series watch acts like an electronic marble in a bowl. With every step forward, the wearer of the watch (bowl) is accelerating forward. By measuring the acceleration of the "marble", the software inside the watch can then calculate the wearer?s speed and distance.p strongThe Competition/strongbr There are really only a few different ways to calculate the speed and distance of human-powered, on-foot travel. The first was basic math, next came the mechanical pedometer, followed by satellite tracking GPS years later. Mechanical pedometers are cheap and abundant, but also highly unreliable. They operate on a simply pendulum clicker that relies on the walker?s hip movement to count steps. Unfortunately, mechanical pedometers end up counting a lot of non-walking movements and assume that walkers are making consistent and repetitive steps.p GPS technology is impressive, but also expensive, complex, and not always ideal for outdoor activities or indoor training. Satellite signals can be lost in heavily forested areas, indoors, or behind large buildings and receiving signals eats up batteries. When a good signal can be found, often the device does not receive info often enough to account for twisty backcountry trails.p strongThe Future/strongbr The Tech 4 O Accelerator Series fills the void between old mechanical pedometers and the overkill of GPS. A simple, yet versatile, wrist-watch design can provide extremely accurate speed and distance data in all conditions.p

 didn't last a year November 2, 2008
The pedometer is the reason I bought this watch. Accuracy was OK. to be expected for the price without GPS. Easy to read numbers. Complaints are the face scratched very easily and made it hard to read the numbers. The face plate popped off after 4 months and had to glued several times. Very complicated to figure out. Last but not least the band was awful. The color does stay pretty for long after you sweat it turns peach on the band which looks terrible with the pink face. It always looked dirty.(bleach did not help)
 as advertised October 24, 2008
The watch performs as advertised - easy to set, get calibrated,an excellent product and price - I would recommend highly
Love it!! September 30, 2008
I really love this watch. It does have a lot of buttons, but as long as you read the instructions and play with it a little bit, the watch is easy to understand. A must buy if you are into running!br /
Nice watch September 25, 2008
I havent used it to track my miles yet, which I bought it for. The instructions are long and it will take a while to figure out how to do it correctly. Overall nice watch and will work good for tracking my time when i run.
Very happy September 12, 2008
It is very accurate and I didn't have any problems programing it. A great tool.
