3. Précision
Pedometer precision varies according to how you walk. Average variation is
around 10%.
However it may deteriorate according to product position, walking environment
or usage.
This product is not designed for walking races or hiking on hilly or bumpy terrain
as the measurement would be very imprecise (no recording of changes in
altitude/incline). In addition, walking on loose or muddy soil provokes around
5% imprecision.

(helping to prevent obesity, cardiovascular illnesses, anxiety, etc.) according to
the W.H.O.
A patented algorithm was designed by the Oxylane Research and Development
for active walking. Above this threshold (step frequency, etc.), you are actively
