SKMEI 1358 pedometer (step counter)

By
I was rather surprised that SKMEI is able to squeeze a step counter into this watch. As this watch does not have a Bluetooth link to a smartphone for workout tracking, the step counter can only be used to track workout and store the workout data in the phone for seven days. Although it does not have the smartphone link to do a full workout analysis, but I found it enough to get an estimate of distance and calories I burned for my workout. At least I don't have to charge this watch every day.

Buttons and main screen layout



Changing the pedometer display

Press the UP button to cycle the display.
Step --> KM --> KCAL --> TIMER
Step = Number of steps counted or detected by the watch pedometer.
KM = Estimated distance in kilometer. The estimation calculated based on the stride length setting and the total number of steps counted.
KCAL = Estimated calories burned. The estimation calculated based on the body weight setting.
Timer = Total active time. It will only run when there is activity.

Setting mode

1.    Press and hold the MODE button to enter the setting mode of the pedometer.
2.    Press the MODE button to cycle the types of setting. At any setting, press UP or DOWN button to change it.
Unit of measurement --> Stride length --> Bodyweight
Unit of measurement = Change the unit of measurement between Metric or Imperial units. Metric units presented as KM and Imperial units presented as INCH. The change will change the pedometer displays and the settings displays.
Stride length = Change the length of a single step. This is used to calculate the distance.
Body weight = Change the body weight. This is used to calculate the calories burned.

Starting and stopping the pedometer

1.    To start the pedometer, press and hold the DOWN button until you see a small running man icon flashing at the bottom of the watch display. The pedometer is running in the background. You can still use other functions of the watch while the pedometer is running.
2.    To stop the pedometer, press and hold the DOWN button until you see the small running man icon disappear.

Viewing the pedometer history

1.    From the pedometer screen, press the MODE button to enter the pedometer history screen (REC).
2.    Press DOWN button to view the pedometer history of the last 7 days. At the bottom of the display is the history date.
3.    At each of the history day, press the UP button to view the distance, calories burned and total active time.

    Hi! I recently bought a SKMEI 1358 watch and I'm wondering if there's a way to reset the pedometer manually. Can you help me?

      Hi. You have a point. I don't really use the pedometer and yes, I too can't find any way to reset the pedometer manually.

      Thanks! I think the battery would run at least a year. The watch module inside seems a very decent build and its using Maxcell battery. Mine still running.

    You have documented the instructions extremely well I must say. I received my new watch today and had been struggling for a few hours with the instructions. Then I decided to search in the internet and came across your site. In a matter of few minutes, I was able to set up most of the things and got running. Thanks much and keep up the good work!!!

A Better SKMEI 1358 Instructions Manual

By

This SKMEI 1358 digital watch is a great watch for a really cheap price. However, the instructions manual is far from good. It took me some time to explore some of the functions and at the same time trying to understand the instructions manual provided by SKMEI. I decided to write an alternative instructions manual for this watch so that other owners of this watch might benefit from it. But never the less, I am not a good English language writer myself. But I do think it is still better than the instructions manual provided. Feel free to correct me using the comment section.

When downloading a large file with CartoonHD, it would take a very long time to complete. I have found that there is no way I could stop or cancel the downloading process if I decided to. Even if I reboot my Note 4, the downloading will restart again after the device rebooted. The only way the downloading can be stop is by uninstalling CartoonHD. I found a way to force stop or cancel the downloading process and here is what I did.

SKMEI 1358 Review

I bought this watch four months ago and I have been wearing it every week during my weekend hiking. Overall this watch is impressive considering the number of features per the price that I have paid for it. All the features worked flawlessly considering that this is a relatively cheap watch comparing it to Casio ProTrek range of watch. SKMEI 1358 is basically an equivalent of Casio's triple sensors watches. You might know them as Pro Trek or Pathfinder in North America. It has a barometer, a thermometer, and a digital compass. It also has an extra sensor that the Pro Trek watches might not have as far as I know of. It has a pedometer. Yes, it counts steps and estimates the calories burnt and distance traveled. With the combination of these sensors, this is an ideal outdoor watch you can have for a fraction of a Casio Pro Trek price. SKMEI 1358

How to export Tasker's Projects, Profiles, Tasks and Scenes

In order to share your Tasker love (projects, profiles, tasks or scenes) to all Tasker users, you will need to export Tasker's projects, profiles, tasks or scenes to xml files. Anyone out there looking for a specific automation for their Android phone could just download and import the xml files into their Tasker Android application and tweak the automation to suite their own use. Somehow i felt that the export and import functions are not that intuitive. I did took a bit of time and Googling to find out how to export and import properly. This post will show you how to access the export function in Tasker.
