So, something really interesting / odd to me. I bought a
#Casio #gshock recently. It was one of two watches that I bought for their
#pedometer because I was tired of having to remember to grab my phone everytime I went to do some chores around the house.
Immediately I noticed that there were, what I believed to be, calibration differences between my phone and the watch. Like over 1000 steps difference per day. But, seeing as the
#watch was lower, I decided that was a good thing.
However, after several days of wearing the G-Shock I wanted to wear a different watch. So I decided I'd keep the
#gshock in my pocket. Because of the way the band is done on the G-Shock I removed it and put the watch in my pocket.
Around lunchtime I noticed that the pedometer was off -- like way off even what it would be normally. I thought maybe I couldn't keep it in my pocket and have it be accurate. So, I threaded a wire through the strap mount holes and clipped it to the necklace that I wear. Checking later it hadn't registered any more steps -- even when my phone had registered over 1000.
So, I've now put the band back on it, and added to my collection boxes. Guess I'll just wear it in rotation like I would any other watch. And, for tracking my steps, I went ahead and ordered a standaloone pedometer that's supposed to be very accuracte and I can just clip to a pocket.
Has anyone else noticed discrepancies / issues with G-Shock pedometers? The model I purchased was the GBD-200.
