The 4×3 Motion Digital Pedometer is an utra slim digital pedometer that is small enough to slip into the smallest pocket, plus it is supplied with a lanyard that allows the user to wear it around his or her neck.
The manufacturers claim that it provides superior accuracy in any position using the worlds most advanced Tri-Axis Technology thanks to its built-in 3D Tri-axis motion sensor which measures vertical, horizontal, and sideways movement.
Hands On
My experience with the pedometer began when I opened the packet and took out the instructions that explain how to get the best from the pedometer and how to set it up for use. I discovered (to my bitter disappointment) that I was unable to read the text due to its minuscule size. As a bloke who is, as my son informs me ‘getting on a bit’ this is my plea to all manufacturers and suppliers of an ever growing number of products, MANUFACTURERS! PLEASE PRINT YOUR INSTRUCTION LEAFLETS IN LETTERS THAT ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO READ!!
It took me several attempts to program the pedometer correctly, partly due to my failing eyesight, partly due to my approaching senility (according to my son), and partly due to the size of the printed text.
Please be aware that during the programming process you will be required to accurately measure the distance covered when ten walking paces are stridden out. this distance is to be divided by ten to provide an average and the divided figure is to be added into the pedometer so that the readings can be provided quite precisely.
Once I had mastered the setting up process however, I am pleased to say that I was delighted with the operation of the pedometer and the ease in which one can change the display from one function to the next with the touch of a button.
I wore the pedometer around my neck using the lanyard supplied, and frequently compared it with a popular app which we had installed onto a smart phone. The pedometer proved to be much more accurate than the app.

Rating
I liked the feel, the shape and the weight of the pedometer along with its ease of use (once programmed), and would be happy to recommend it to anyone contemplating making a purchase of a quality premium range pedometer, I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the difficulty I had in reading the instruction leaflet.
