Best Clip on Pedometer – Realalt 3D TriSport – REVIEW 2021

It’s simple and effective that’s why we chose the Realalt 3D Trisport as our Best Clip on Pedometer.

The 3D TriSport Walking by Realalt is one of the bestsellers among the simple pedometers. It can be worn around the neck, attached to the waistband with a clip or simply tucked into the pocket thanks to 3D TriAxis sensor technology.

The 3D TriSport measures

Number of steps,
the distance walked (in km or miles) per day,
the calories burned and
active time.

The device stores the data up to 30 days, so you can track your own progress and fitness goals.

Setting up the device is very simple.

First, enter the date and time and decide whether to use the 12- or 24-hour system as well as km or miles.

Then you enter your personal data:

Individual Step length (to calculate the distance)
Weight (to calculate the calories burned) and
Daily target (e.g., 10,000 steps)

The 3D TriSport works completely autonomously. It does not need to be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The data remains only on the device and will not be transmitted to the internet. Therefore, it is also suitable especially for seniors and children.

Our experience with the 3D TriSport

The device is not completely intuitive. We first had to study the manual to complete the setup. On the back there is a foil in the battery compartment, so that the supplied CR2032 battery does not discharge. For this purpose, a small screwdriver is included, with which the compartment can be opened and closed again.

The stride length must be entered manually. In many other fitness trackers, this is automatically determined by the body size. This is best done by taking 10 steps, measuring the distance and dividing it by 10.

The measurement of the steps is very accurate. However, even this pedometer can not always know exactly whether it is a real step or some other movements. When driving over cobblestones or riding a bike over a bumpy road, a few steps are added. This is normal and distorts the daily target only slightly.

Realalt supplies a sturdy clip and a Neck Lanyard with the pedometer. Above all, the clip is very helpful and allows a safe attachment to the belt or waistband without being noticed during the day.

The large, clear and easy-to-read display shows the time and number of steps clearly legible. However, the display is not illuminated at dark.

You might be confused at the beginning. The total number of steps are not reset to 0 automatically at midnight, as with many other pedometer meters. The total number of steps under the menu item “Total Step” keeps counting until you reset it manually.

However, the steps walked during a day are found under the menu item “steps” and resets automatically.

Included:

belt clip
lanyard
CR2032 battery (lasts up to a year)
Mini screwdriver for battery replacement

Best Alternative: 3DFitBud

Conclusion

This clip pedometer does what it is supposed to do for a very reasonable price. It is a very robust and accurately counting clip on pedometer. Recommended for those who do not want to wear an activity tracker on their wrist.

For this purpose, a Bluetooth connection is established between the smartphone and the activity tracker. You only need to enter age, gender, height and weight in the app in order to set the activity tracker up initially. Continue reading

Exercising also helps the heart function better, gets rid of cholesterol and it’s also an excellent pastime activity for seniors who in most cases do not have a lot on their hands.

As the body gets used to the exercise routine, soreness and muscle pains resulting from old age are minimized. Walking exercises for seniors are an excellent option. It is easy to do them, and most seniors love walking. Those who have been sedentary for long, have ailments, aches and suffer from back pains, should consult their doctor first.

Omron Alvita Pedometers

Unlike other electronic devices most pedometers don’t tend to be already obsolete just 6 months after their market introduction. One of the classics in the simple pedometer market is the Omron Alvita series which was originally introduced in 2012.

It comes in different versions. We focus on the HJ-321 which also measures calorie consumption and switches automatically to aerobic mode and the HJ-320 which is a more basic pedometer that only counts the steps and calculates the distance. However, there is hardly any difference in price, just about 2 Dollars.

Omron is a Japanese medical device manufacturer which was the pioneer in the classical step counters market back in the 1960s when the devices were still mechanical. With the Omron Walking Style series – one of the first electronic pedometers – in the 2000s they started the initiative of measuring your daily movements. Continue reading

Pedometers for Shoes

Especially when you are walking, hiking or running and have little opportunities to attach a pedometer to your waistband or in your pocket a shoe lace pedometer is the right product to count your steps and measure your distance.

Shoe Lace pedometers are easy to attach, don’t bother you while walking or running and are cheap to buy. For those who lose their pedometers regularly a shoelace version might be the right option.

However there are not necessarily an item that you can wear all day long. Whereas a regular stepcounter can be invisibly placed in your pocket or on your waistband, a shoelace pedometer is not suitable for business attire. You should consider, that it is more a product for outdoor activities or for the gym.

Fitness Bracelet YG3 Review

There are already quite a few fitness bracelets with bluetooth and their own App for under 30 US$ on the market. We tested the YG3 of 11TT which is an excellet player in this category.

This activity tracker bracelet can actually also be used without Bluetooth. However, you have to install the VeryFitPro App on your smartphone to initially set the tracker up.

Setting the Y3G up is very simple. When bluetooth is activated on your phone, the tracker is quickly found and connected. After that you only need to enter your year of birth, body size, weight and gender. You can either use the metric or imperial system.

On the basis of this information the step length and thus the daily distance as well as the calorie consumption are calculated. That means, the steps are actually counted with the integrated 3D sensor technology. The rest is basically calculated. Continue reading
