If you liked the ThinQ, you’ll love the ShinQ. This down-sized pocket pedometer is not short on performance or personality. Sleek, sexy and designed to slip into any sized pocket. The ShrinQ pedometer will track your steps, distance-traveled and calories-burned with extreme accuracy. So, if you have a pocket or plan to get one, we’ve got the perfect product to put in it. more info
Completely inaccurate
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This pedometer is WAY too sensitive. I’ve used several others, and I have a general idea of how many steps I’m taking during different activities. I tried this one because most others are too bulky and uncomfortable. However, it records almost twice as many steps as I’m actually taking. It records steps even as you pick it up to put in your pocket. I’m returing it.
Already Returned It

Shame on me, I didn’t do my research before buying the Sportline 304 ShrinQ 2.0. In fact, I thought Pedometers were all the same. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I, like all but 1 reviewer, found that the accuracy was terrible in the unit. It counted steps while I was sitting still at my desk…who knew walking could be so easy?
While the size and ease of programming are nice features, this pedometer does not meet its intended purpose.
It gets one star ’cause I can’t rate -0-.
Limited accuracy makes other nice features irrelevant.

This pedometer has got a lot going for it:
-It’s small
-Can easily fit in any pocket
-Has other functions such as clock and activity timer
But that doesn’t matter much as it is wildly inaccurate in most situations. I wore it along with a conventional pedometer (that I’d previously validated in parallel with the industry-standard Yamax) and it was only moderately accurate for medium-speed walking, and totally unacceptable for mixed activity. In most situations it tended to seriously over-count. If they come out with a more accurate version of the same thing, it’ll be a good device. Not Yet!

I bought this pedometer at Dicks. Later while I was in the area of my favorite athletics store and stopped by just to see what they recommended. I ended up purchasing a Timex. I thought I might as well wear them both to see which one I preferred. I really liked the slim line of the Sportline.
What I found was that after walking on the treadmill the Sportline had almost double the steps. I tried again, this time counting my steps. It was way off. It even counts steps while I’m driving in the car, leaning over, or just sitting. It’s virually impossible to reset it to 0, put it in your pocket, then take it right back out and have it still read 0.
I want something I can wear all day and get an accurate step count. This isn’t it. Probably would work OK if you just put it on to run and then took it off.
I’m returning it.
Total Junk

It seems to keep counting when you are not moving, like it is counting seconds or something. It is really expensive and is worth zero. I won’t buy any more Sportline stuff. I don’t understand how they can get away with selling stuff that doesn’t work.
