Conclusion
The animated characters aren't as annoying as you would think. The graphs
are informative, but not complicated. The hardware works just as it
should, although if you carry it in your knapsack or shake it, it will register
false steps. It's a good idea to insert the module and reset it's step
counter before you go on any long walks if you want to get good accuracy.
It's a very cool and clever module. If you walk a lot, I recommend it.
It's about $49.95, which in my opinion is expensive when compared to simple
digital pedometers you can buy at sport stores. But, the plug and play
Visor "coolness factor" and the historical graphs certainly up the ante.
The Hagiwara Step Keeper Pedometer module is certainly a unique addition to your
collection of modules, and if you are an exercise fan, it's a winner.
