Are pedometers waterproof???

Pedometer FAQ
No. The clamshell style pedometers do a very good job of 'resisting' water -- but, they are not designed to be submerged. However, if you do drop your pedometer in the water - try letting it dry out for a few days. We have seen many cases where water soaked pedometers have come 'back to life' after a thorough drying. Probably not. If the pedometer is counting steps properly - its working fine. The mileage is determined by the stride length that you entered when setting up your pedometer.

Do They Make Accurate Pedometers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Pedometers almost always accurately count steps, as long as you have sufficient hip motion to trigger the counter. The problem is that one's step size is never constant, and it takes a little iteration to find the correct average setting. The settings are also usually coarse - 1.5'/step to 1.75'/step at best, for example, a 17% change. Hence that pedometer would be 8.5% off if your average step size was 1.626'.
