Why buy a Digiwalker pedometer?

We only sell New Lifestyles DIGI-WALKER pedometers. Why? Because they're the best pedometers for the money that you can buy.

In terms of accuracy, reliability, ease of use, and cost, the DIGI-WALKER is the best. Researchers at leading universities rely on DIGI-WALKER pedometers to provide the best data for clinical trials, and health promoters are finding them a great aid to motivation.

DIGI-WALKER pedometers are made in Japan to extremely high standards. You can buy cheaper models, but these can be extremely inaccurate and unreliable.

The Digiwalker has performed exceptionally well in research trials. According to an independent review in a leading sports science journal:

"In a recent review of five contemporary electronic pedometers, Bassett et al reported acceptable results for most of the monitors, with exceptional reliability and validity exhibited by the YAMAX DIGI-WALKER (Yamax Inc., Tokyo , Japan ). THE DIGI-WALKER model was more accurate in terms of step counts and distance walked for each of the walking paces tested. In a field-based evaluation along a 4.88-km sidewalk, the DIGI-WALKER measured the number of steps and distance to within 1% of actual values."
