Anyway sorry for the long post but today my phone registered 6061 steps while the pedometer registered 13044. That's a huge discrepancy.
I tried using my phone a few times with an app but it always under counted. I had done the same as you checking it for 100 steps and would usually do ok but it would always be low compares to any step counter I had on for the day.
It sounds like you have one of what I call clunky step counters. They make a little clunk every time they count a step. When those are new I found them fairly accurate. If you move enough to make it clunk it will count another step. For me if I am moving I am ok if counts another step. I use my step counter to hep me keep moving through out the day.
I like the electronic step counters. You can buy them for between $15 and $30. They are usually accurate and I do not need to carry my phone. My fav is the New Balance Via Slim. It will pick up smaller steps and running in place.
For me my step counter is an important part of my daily activity so I have bought a couple and have worn them for a day or two and counted steps in my head for different activities and then checked them. Sometimes I would find one that was way low or way high. For me the worst one has been an app on my phone.
Hope some of this heps
Thanks heaps for the response and yes it does help alot. I went back and had a look at the instructions lastnight and it turns out I had the sensitivity setting set to the highest instead of the lowest on the pedometer. So I've adjusted that and feel alot happier with how it's been counting today. I'm going to try and get in the habit to open the case while I sitting down or driving my car as it is designed not to be able to count while open.
Thanks again
