The Oregon Scientific panic alarm pedometer is designed not
just to count steps, distance, calories and time, it has been
designed with your safety in mind.
The pedometer part of the
panic alarm pedometer is so easy to set and use. There are
three modes that display clock/step, distance/timer
(stopwatch) or calories/timer, and you can switch between them
all while it is in use. So you can see how many calories
you’ve burned from the 400 steps you’ve taken and how many miles
400 steps actually is. Yes, this pedometer calculates in
imperial so your distance is in miles, when setting weight: lbs
and when setting step: inches.
The design is quite unique with
display automatically facing up once you have clipped it on,
so there is no need to fumble around opening it every time you
want to read the pedometer. It also has a backlight like
digital watches do, so you can still read it even when dark.
The panic alarm part of this Oregon Scientific pedometer is
even simpler than the pedometer part. You have a cord that is
plugged into the pedometer at one end and can be clipped on or
tucked in your pocket at the other end. Pull the cord out of
the pedometer and the alarm goes off.
Believe me when I say
the panic alarm is LOUD! To give you an example of just how
loud it is, when I was testing the Oregon Scientific panic
alarm pedometer in the office I pulled out the plastic strips
that activate the batteries before I plugged the cord in, and
people thought the fire alarm was going off! But to me that is
how a panic alarm should be, unignorably loud.
