7 Common Reasons Why Pedometers Make Errors
1. Your pedometer is worn in the wrong position

• The common pedometers, especially the cheaper
  ones use a mechanism that is prone to malfunction
  if used in the incorrect position.
• Replace your device with a pocket pedometer.
  This one uses the accelerometer mechanism that is
  not affected by tilting.

2. You unknowingly hit the reset button

• Some pedometer models have reset buttons that
  are so exposed that you usually hit them
  accidentally.

3. You failed to hit a button

• Such button could be the power on switch or the
  one that instructs your pedometer to start
  counting again.

4. You dropped your pedometer to the floor

• Some errors are seen instantly after a drop, but
  others are not. You cannot expect the pedometer
  to work just as fine after you drop it.
• Once it hits the floor or anything else check
  out for physical deformation or functional errors
  at once.

5. You forgot to change batteries

• Depending on the quality, a pedometer's battery
  may have enough juice for six months and up to
  one year. Simply putting on new batteries will
  solve your pedometer's errors.

6. You taught your pedometer is waterproof

• You could have walked in the rain or your child
  may have splashed a glass of water on and you
  forgot that you have your pedometer still clipped
  to your pants.
• If this happens, don't try to turn your
  pedometer on at once. Remove the battery first
  and use a hair dryer to let it dry. Changing
  batteries may also fix the problem.

7. You used your pedometer without setting the
correct stride length and weight

• The accuracy of the measurement of distance as
  well as calories burned depends only on the
  correct setting of the stride length as well as
  the weight.
• You should take your time reading your manual so
  you can feed your pedometer with the right data
  so it can accurately measure your progress.
