| Customer Reviews: Backpacking use (Brunton analog pedometer) May 11, 2008 M. Weinrich (Lexington, South Carolina) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Over the years, we've bought four of these for my wife and me, as well as numerous simple and fancy digital pedometers. We are Appalachian Trail section hikers and have finished about half of the Trail.
We like these pedometers for two reasons. First, they seem less sensitive than digital models to changes in the terrain, so that they give somewhat more accurate distance readings than the digital models. Second, you don't have to start them out at zero--you can set them at the trailhead to match the mileage in the guide, so that the mileage read corresponds to the landmarks in your trail guide.
The glow-in-the-dark face of the dial, might be useful to many AT night hikers; though we don't hike at night, many through-hikers do. Over the years, Brunton's made minor improvements in legibility of the dial.
Reliablility's good and the pedometer's durable, though the one we received last month (ordered from Amazon) doesn't work at all. I doubt that this happens very often.
Totally satisfied August 25, 2007 Handyguy (Livermore, CA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I specifically wanted a pedometer that measured miles,(graduations are in quarter mile increments with large numbers for full miles). I didn't want the small digital ones that measure steps and require batteries.
That said, this is a very accurate well constructed pedometer with easy to read dial face plus being visible in total darkness. Hence the name night walker label on the dial face.
The unit is calibrated easily with a stride adjustment on the side. Out of the box it was set for a 2 1/2 foot stride. I walked a measured mile and it read a little over a mile. I made one increment stride adjustment on the side to a little less that and reset the distance dial to zero. I walked another premeasured four miles and it displayed precisely four miles.
The unit has an excellent belt clip that I attached to the waist strap of a "small fannypak"
The total overall length is four inches, the dial case is two inches across, the case is 1/2 inch in thickness. The full scale distance is twelve miles.
If by chance your walk exceeds twelve miles you simply add the final number to twelve for a total number. If you find yourself walking in excess of twelve miles every day you probably don't need a pedometer, save the money for your next pair of walking shoes!
