1 / 6NESKLA 838 3D Pedometer with 1.73-inch LCD
The NESKLA 838 3D Pedometer is a basic step counter with a large LCD, reset button, and no need for a phone or app. It is aimed at buyers who want a standalone counter rather than broader activity tracking. Customer feedback is positive about the display and basic function, but reports on counting accuracy, reliability, and the clip are mixed.
At a glance
- Counts steps only, with a single reset button. The listing says to hold it for 3–5 seconds to reset the count.
- A 3D tri-axis sensor is claimed for step detection, but customer feedback describes inconsistent accuracy.
- The listing claims an included CR2032 battery can last up to one year and that the device sleeps while still and resumes counting with movement.
- Removable clip and lanyard offer belt or neck carry options, while the display is intended to be readable at a glance.

Pros and cons
Pros
- No Bluetooth, app, charging or smartphone pairing is needed for basic step counting.
- The large LCD, clip and lanyard suit simple on-person step tracking.

Cons

- Customer reports conflict on accuracy and reliability, so it may not suit tracking where consistent counts are essential.

Customer feedback highlights the compact size, clear display and usefulness for basic step counting. However, experiences with accuracy and reliability are mixed, with some reports of substantial count discrepancies or units stopping after a few days. Opinions on the belt clip also differ. These concerns matter particularly for buyers who need dependable tracking or plan to rely on clip carry. The listing's large LCD and simple step-only design describe the intended use, but do not resolve those reported differences.
