The reason you haven’t heard of SC Pedometers is that the company doesn’t spend on advertising – and that’s by design. Coming in at less than $20, this device does the work and yet you won’t be crying if you lose it hiking. Face it, you’ll want a new one in a year or so anyway. Don’t be fooled by the low price point, it’s incredibly simple to use yet has all the features you’re looking for. Plus, it only has an 8-step delay which makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Two features worth noting is that the memory log captures information by date and that it keeps a tally of all the steps / miles you have traveled since you activated the device. The setup is simple and the buttons on the side make every button pressed intentional, thereby eliminating accidental use. It has a large display with an inverted orientation. Basically, you can read it no matter what your position is. Yes, it also tells time. Available in black, blue and pink.
