(More customer reviews)At first glance, the Lifesource XL-18 Tri-Axial Activity Monitor with its built in digital accelerometer for tracking movement seems to be a worthy fitness tool. Like similar systems, calibrating for a correct stride length is crucial for collecting accurate data on workouts. An easy to understand guide for calculating stride length is included in the directions.
The XL-18 calculates and displays my daily step count, distance traveled, battery life and calories burned. It stores this information for up to 14 days. I like the fact that it measures intensity levels of both power walking or running. There are no on/off buttons. This unit will turn itself off if I'm idle for sixty seconds or more. It operates on a CR2032 lithium battery.
Weighing in at not even 2 ounces, and measuring 3" x 1.4" x 0.4" its all about portability. It operates without any hiccups while in my pocket or in my backpack. However, it doesn't power up or monitor when dangling free. The only negative that I have found is that it doesn't allow for downloading workout data. This has to be done manually.
The Lifesource Tri-Axial Activity Monitor XL-18 is packaged with a long lanyard, brief instructions and battery. The manufacturer's website is totally useless for product registration or warranty information. This monitor is not even listed.
Overall, I give the XL-18 Monitor points for portability, functions and price. I find it to be an economical workout tool that delivers on the basics.
