I have been using fitness trackers since 2012. I have had 2 1/2 trackers before the 3DTriSport. The first two were the same: Fit***, the first model out. I lost the first and then the second. The clip holder did not hold the device securely, or the two that I had, did not, and failed. They were accurate. The second was a Yam** E510 which just stopped working two weeks ago. It did not have a holder, and came with a very short lanyard, which I could not figure out its use. I did not have any problems programming either of these. I purchased the 3DTriSport based upon reviews, discounting those which had a programming problem. Right after I ordered I received an email from a customer support rep, giving me instructions, a training video and a telephone number to call if I had problems. The item arrived and the blister pack opened easily. Included was a clip holder and a two part lanyard, and instructions (I must have three sets right now. Programming was easy. The only mistake I made was in pulling out the plastic battery protector which started the clock. Thus was easy to correct. The clip holder seems robust and I have clipped it to my t-shirt collar, sock, pocket while exercising at my gym and it stayed put. I have placed the small part of the lanyard on the tracker and sometimes connect it to the longer portion and wear it around my neck while on a treadmill. That way it is easier to compare the distances on each. Now, the most important part: accuracy. I have tracked distance on a treadmill and the 3DTriSport about 7 times. It has never deviated by more than 0.02 miles. This is accurate enough for my needs. I have also tracked distance from my house to my gym and compared to Google Maps to the TriSport and again, never more than 0.02 miles difference. I also found that it tracks walking on stairs as well. This in accurate, well made, and quite a value for its price.

Okay, I’ll review the device but you may not like everything that I have to say. To start with, I like the device. It is small and unobtrusive and settings don’t easily get changed. It appears to be more accurate than the last pedometer that I had. The last one was larger and more ‘clunky’ and got settings easily changed and only worked from a belt/waistband location. I have not checked the previous one with this one in a side-by-side test but plan to do so in the near future Being able to get an indication of the number of steps from waist, pocket or lanyard is very convenient but the accuracy seems to be lacking for other than waistband. Accuracy from a lanyard averages 85 – 88% at best so that is good for generalization at best. Pants pocket location appears to be slightly more accurate than the lanyard but not much. I am constantly participating in cardiovascular rehabilitation due to an Aortic valve replacement. I exercise on 4 different exercise machines and walk on a treadmill. The treadmill readings are okay but the rest are total failures. An Airdyne gives no reading at all from waistband, pocket, lanyard or clipped to my shoe. The same holds true for 3 semi-recumbent pedal machines (Nustep, Sci Fit and Biodex). No readings at all from waist, pocket, lanyard or clipped to the shoe. I noticed the same behavior from an Elliptical Trainer. No reading at all. The only test on the Elliptical was done from the waistband position and may be associated with the multi-step error deletion (10 step error prevention feature). After completing an exercise session on the Airdyne or one of the semi-recumbent machines I noticed that it took a long interval before steps started counting again. This is a good feature actually, I’m glad that it is there but I wish that it was more accurate. It appears that this feature is applied every time you stop or at rest for 5 minutes or longer. When attached to the waistband it may take 40+ steps before it starts registering and only counts 10 to 15 steps at most so I’ve started calling it the multi-step error deletion feature. From a lanyard this deletion can be well above 40 or 50 steps (I lost track while trying to count the steps manually). Setup was a bit of a problem for me (small buttons and large hands don’t mix well) but that isn’t a big negative. I follow directions well so I just did a full reset and restarted and got through it in a matter of minutes. I do keep hitting the Mode button when attaching it to the waistband but that doesn’t seem to effect the accuracy or operation at all. That couldn’t be said of the last pedometer that I had. It would be nice to be able to upload the information to my computer, laptop or phone without having to manually enter it but that isn’t a negative, just a nice to have feature. Overall, I’d have to give you a thumbs up on this product. There are some things that I don’t care for but I don’t see them as being nearly as bad as those that have been related to me concerning the wrist wear style. Most of those that I’ve been told about wound up in the junk drawer gathering dust.

For my needs, a rather no-frills pedometer was all I was seeking. One that simply counts steps and distance. Having used the pedometer for approximately four months, thus far I deem the product reliable and accurate. There are a few additional features that may be worthwhile to some, but I do not use them. For example, just like I would never rely on a piece of cardio equipment to accurately inform me of calories burned, neither would I rely on any pedometer. This unit was easy to setup. The only process that requires some time and patience is the initial stride measurements. Once I was able to dial in my stride accurately, I felt the pedometer worked fine. The unit may take a moment to begin counting once you begin moving, but the accuracy appears to be there. There are times on a treadmill whereby the counter will not count small and slow steps. You really have to be close to the normal stride that was established at setup. Also, the small unit can be a bit awkward when clipping to the hip. The buttons are close together, so there are times when clipping the unit to my hip causes me to unintentionally push a button. Also, sitting can cause inadvertent button pushes. For example, in a car, the seat belt at times will inadvertently depresses a button. I may have to try the lanyard. I just prefer not to have the unit around my neck. These are not deal breakers. For a very fair price this is a really nice pedometer that appears to be accurate and reliable.

*** DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T BUY THIS!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!! *** I started using this unit when I received it. Over the next 4 months, I wore it 24/7, but could never seem to reach my daily step count goals. I was really getting discouraged. On Monday, 04/13/2026, I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and increase my step count. I would only allow myself 20 minutes to an hour before I made myself get up and walk for between 2 and 5 minutes. By the end of the day, I was closer than I had ever been to my daily goal, but it kinda looked like it stopped counting at that point. A family member asked me to download the Step Counter-Pedometer app for my Android phone so we could work towards our step count together with the app. I downloaded and configured it that night just before I went to bed. The next morning, I grabbed my phone started carrying it around the house with me for the next hour. At the end of the hour, I compared the two. My phone app had logged 3 TIMES the number of steps in the same period. So I was being systematically ROBBED by this unit. I've now removed this unit and use my app exclusively. *** DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T BUY THIS!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!! ***

An Evaluation of the Realalt 3D TriSport Pedometer Below are the results of a comparison of the Realalt 3D TriSport pedometer with an Omron HJ-720iT pedometer. The Realalt 3D TriSport is supposed to be operable while virtually in any of the x, y, or z axis position; this is supposed to mean that it is accurate in counting steps wherever it is carried on the person, or in a bag attached to the person. The Omron HJ-720iT pedometer is a “2D” system; it will only report steps accurately when carried in an edge-on position (x or y axis). The following is a log of 14 days of walking while using both pedometers at the same time. For simplicity sake, I will refer to the Realalt 3D TriSport pedometer as “R”, and the Omron HJ-720iT pedometer as “O”. Pedometer Comparison Log Day 1 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (8066 steps) R - Mounted on my belt (in its supplied belt clip); near the watch pocket of my jeans (7885 steps) 2.24% O/R difference (O measured higher by 181 steps) Day 2 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (6972 steps) R – Attached to the supplied lanyard, around my neck (7802 steps) 10.6% O/R difference (R measured higher by 830 steps) Day3 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (7629 steps) R - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (8112 steps) 5.95% O/R difference (R measured higher by 483 steps) Day 4 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (7207 steps) R - Carried in right front pocket of my jeans (9866 steps) 26.9% O/R difference (R measured higher by 2659 steps) Day 5 O - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side (9208 steps) R - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side (8875 steps) 3.62% O/R difference (O measured higher by 333 steps) Day 6 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (7712 steps) R - Carried in the left front pocket of my jeans (11053 steps) 30.2% O/R difference (R measured higher by 3341 steps) Day 7 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans (7506 steps) R - Attached to the supplied lanyard, around my neck (8065 steps) 15.33% O/R difference (R measured higher by 559 steps) Day 8 O - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side (9951 steps) R - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side (9781 steps) 1.7% O/R difference (O measured higher by 170 steps) Day 9 O - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans, during exercise walk (7200 steps) R - Carried in my watch pocket above the front right pocket of my jeans, during exercise walk (7310 steps) 1.5% O/R difference, during exercise walk (R measured higher by 110 steps) O - Switched position of the device after exercise walk; carried on my belt, in holder, right side (add 536 steps) R - Switched position of the device after exercise walk; carried on my belt, in holder, right side (add 594 steps) 9.0% O/R difference (R measured higher by 58 steps) Day 10 O - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side, during exercise walk (7324 steps) R - Carried on my belt, in holder, right side, during exercise walk (7379 steps) 0.74% difference (R measured higher by 55 steps) Day 11 O – 7573 steps (clipped to my belt, on front right side, during exercise walk) R - 7619 steps (clipped to my belt, on front right side, during exercise walk) 0.6% O/R difference (R measured higher by 46 steps) Day 12 O - 7266 steps (clipped to my belt, on front right side, during exercise walk); end of day total = 7707 steps R - 7271 steps (mounted on supplied lanyard, around neck during exercise walk); end of day total = 7825 steps 0.07% O/R difference for exercise walk (R measured higher by 5 steps) 1.5% O/R difference at end of day (R measured higher by 118 steps) Day 13 O – 7375 steps (clipped to my belt, on front right side, during exercise walk); end of day = 8980 steps R - 7424 steps (Attached to the supplied lanyard, around my neck); end of day = 9251 steps 0.66% difference for exercise walk (R measured higher by 49 steps) 2.93% difference at end of day (R measured higher by 271 steps) Day 14 O - 7627 steps (clipped to my belt, on front right side, during exercise walk); end of day total = 10867 R – 7624 steps (clipped to my belt, on front left side, during exercise walk); end of day total = 10535 0.04% O/R difference for exercise walk (O measured higher by 3 steps) 3.05% O/R difference for end of day is (O measured higher by 332 steps) Conclusion: While one would assume that a “3D” type of pedometer is more accurate than a “2D” pedometer, it all depends on how the device is mounted, and how it is used. The Realalt 3D TriSport (R) has good accuracy when attached to the waist between the center of the body and the hip, or on a lanyard around one’s neck; anywhere else, then the accuracy drops off. Also, the accuracy will decrease if the unit is left on the body during normal daily activity (after exercise). I tend to wear my pedometer from morning to night. Keep in mind that this evaluation is from real-life experience using the pedometers that I have on hand. The reason that I purchased the Realalt 3D TriSport was that I wanted to upgrade my Omron HJ-720iT (a 2D system) to the latest 3D system. If I realized that, for my purpose, that it wouldn’t have made that much difference, I wouldn’t have bothered.

plain and simple and easy to read and reset

I thought it was going to be difficult to setup, but some of the instructions are difficult. On the card included or video's on youtube was easier to understand. I don't use it for just walking around like most people do and count steps. I only use it for exercise walking in the early mornings a few times a week. I didn't get my stride correct because I clocked the distance with my motorcycle. Then all I had to do was to keep going into the settings under "steps" and keep changing the setting for me less and less until I came up with the same mileage as my odometer on my motorcycle. It is full proof if you do it that way for distance and it shows your steps also. I don't understand anything about people counting steps. I'm only interested in the miles I walk 1 time each day that I walk a few times a week. great price and seems to be well made. I don't even know I'm wearing it.
