The Oregon Scientific Digital Pedometer with Pulse Meter, model number PE826, costs about $30. The package claims that the pedometer has an infrared sensor that measures pulse, distance walked, time elapsed and calories burned, and it has a 12- to 24-hour clock. It supposedly counts up to 99,999 steps and stores up to seven days' walking and calorie data.
If all that had turned out to be true, this would have been a great product. Unfortunately, despite the fact that I am quite technically inclined, I was completely unable to get this Oregon Scientific pulse pedometer to measure a single footstep. The device read flat zero no matter what I did to it. The only thing I could get to work was the pulse meter, which did appear to operate correctly, showing me that at the time of measurement my pulse was 62, which is higher than usual for me but probably because I was angry at the device.
I followed the instructions from start to finish, including the calibration and set-up. The battery was working fine, the buttons were working fine -- it's just that the unit wouldn't measure my walking steps. I tried walking on a flat surface, I tried jumping around, I tried shaking it in my hands; nothing would make this unit register a single footstep.
When this kind of thing happens with a product, the next step is usually to go to the manufacturer's web site to find some answers, so I went to the support web site listed in the documentation for this device -- www2.organscientific.com/service/support -- and expected to find a section of frequently asked questions or support resources, but instead my browser was redirected to the product catalog page, which was of no use whatsoever. The only support resource I could find was a downloadable version of the very same manual I had been reading that encouraged me to go to the web site to find support in the first place: a stupid, endless loop.
But don't fret. The Oregon Scientific digital pedometer may not be entirely useless. It does have a clip on the side that clips into your belt or clothing. This can be used as a $30 paperclip to keep office papers together or an elaborate desktop paperweight to make your office workers think you actually engage in exercise.
As a pedometer, this Oregon Scientific product is completely and utterly useless, and while it seems that it cannot measure my footsteps with any aptitude whatsoever, it does seem successful at helping me measuring one thing, and that's the number of times I will review Oregon Scientific products in the future: zero.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
