If you're serious about getting back into shape you should really think about spending a little bit of money and invest in a pedometer or pedometer watch. These little devices will keep track of the distance you're traveling and the number of steps you've taken while you are running, jogging, walking, or hiking. There are countless variations on the pedometer watch these days but the Sportline 344 Safety Alarm Pedometer and Pedometer Watch stands out with a particularly interesting feature. Here is a review of the Sportline 344 Safety Alarm Pedometer.

The Sportline 344 Safety Alarm Pedometer or pedometer watch is designed with the night runner in mind. It has a few very unique features added to it that make it stand out from the rest of the pedometer pack. It is outfitted with a step counter and a calories burned calculator and it has a wide screen digital display with speakers attached so that it can speak the numbers aloud to you as you are running. Think how useful that feature must be when you reach particular milestones. Instead of having to look down at your watch every fifteen minutes you can just set it to tell you whenever you have reached the step count goal for the day.

Aside from the pedometer counting features this particular brand of pedometer is also a safety alarm system. For those of us who live in big cities or spooky neighborhoods with high crime rates it can get kind of nerve racking out there as we're jogging along. The Sportsline 344 Safety Alarm Pedometer alleviates some of that fear by implementing a safety alarm pin. If you are in danger you can simply pull the pin and the pedometer will emit a loud alarm similar to a car alarm. This should ward off any criminals and it will also attract the attention of people who can assist you. The only problem is that if you accidentally pull the pin while you're running along you're going to be greeted by an annoying sound.

The only real problem with this particular pedometer is its inability to keep track of daily statistics. It has no daily memory storage system so if you are using the pedometer to keep track of your progress over the course of several days or even months, you're going to have to go home and manually enter the data into a spreadsheet of some kind. However, with the alarm system and the audible display this pedometer is really handy for those of us who like to run at night.
