Our unique technology allows you to carry this activity monitor in your pocket or around your neck instead of the traditional method of clipping it to your belt. Steps taken are immediately added after 7 seconds of walking activity, preventing body movement and false steps from being recorded. The Tanita Iron Girl PD-724-GL features step counters, an estimate of calories burned, distance measurement, and stride range for accurate results. It's easy to use and a practical choice for those who want added safety while running, hiking, walking, or traveling. Should you ever feel threatened, the easily triggered panic alarm may increase your ability to deter an assailant. The perfect travel companion for yourself or someone you love.
