Lonsdale Pedometer HELP!

Options
Hello everyone

I used to go walking to try to stop my bottom growing :p

I'm taking it up again and have bought a new Pedometer to help motivate me. Problem is I can't get the thing to work!

It's a Lonsdale pedometer and I bought it from one of thon sports shops. I've tried online but I just can't get to put my weight and stride in (the two things I actually NEED to help me)

Is there anyone able to help this exhausted stoopid woman?

  • Not much help, but get the customer support team from where you got it from to show you how it works properly.

    Those cheap pedometers are pretty useless, the trembler switches start to fail after only a short period of use anyway. If you have a smartphone with GPS use that instead to record your distance.

    Hi

    thanks so much for your replies. I'm going to just butcher this one I have and get the battery. I already have a Newfeel one and I loved it. The battery died so hopefully if I put the new one in my old data will still be there. Otherwise I'll be back to step 1 sigh

    Doubtful the data will be there, the battery will be the thing powering the save function.

    Re the new one; if it's lonsdale it'll be sports direct (or one of their "named" other stores) therefore expect no help with it, or return facilities.
