Product Description
Measure your performance at the track or gym by recording distance, speed and those all-important calories burned. Looking for a way to gauge your progress in running or exercise walking, but tired of inaccurate and limiting pedometers, battery killing GPS and annoying food pods. For discriminating consumers who crave more than the typical pedometer can offer, presents the accelerator watch series. Far more accurate than a typical pedometer that relies on a pendulum to count steps, the Accelerator series incorporates advanced accelerometer technology. The difference between short and long strides and records, calculates, and displays all measurements via the wrist watch - no need for a foot pod. Accelerator doesn't just stop at counting steps, it also provides distance, speed, and calories burned during exercise so you can track your progress.

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!

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!

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!
