I bought the SDM4 Footpod to improve the accuracy of my steps and distances on runs, especially indoor runs on a treadmill at the gym. I am very pleased with how it works with my Garmin Vivoactive HR smart watch. It is very accurate and easy to use. The activation and link with my Garmin smartwatch works every time and was extremely easy to set up. The Footpod is light but durable, and I have run in wet conditions with it on my shoe with no problems. If I was ever to loose it, I would but another immediately. If you run indoors on a treadmill and use a Garmin smartwatch, it is a must have!

Love the foot pod. Small, looks good on the shoe, and easy to set-up. Much better than counting steps! Being able to see my cadence the entire run has helped keep me from being lazy as the run wears on. Totally worth the money if you're trying to become a better runner.

The new SDM4 footpod from Garmin is exceptional. It provides running dynamics to Garmin products flawlessly. It is tiny, clips onto shoelaces and is best worn on your non-dominant foot for best results. So tiny it is easy to forget it is on the shoe! So secure that it will not come off accidentally. I could not be happier.

I have purchased the Footpod so I could use my Garmin and track running workouts when indoors on a treadmill. Now I use the pod even when running outside, since it provides much more information than when I use the watch alone. set-up and pairing was a piece of cake, I connected the pod to my Forerunner 910XT without any problem, right away. This piece of equipment is a must have for any runner/triathletes interested in monitoring their work-outs and getting lots of useful information in the process.

I do some of my speed and tempo work on a treadmill by necessity and since every treadmill is calibrated differently, they never read my correct pace, with this foot pod I can workout on just about any treadmill. It reads accurate enough, even as if I'm running on a track.

The battery was dead, but after replacing the battery it worked fine. A good point to remember that the unit goes in sleep mode 30 mins ( to save battery) after being use and needs to be woken up by walking/running for a about a minute or gently tapping the unit about 20 times when it needs to be used again.

The foot pod is very accurate at slower jog pace. It seems to be less accurate at a faster running pace. It may have issues with the shock when running faster. On average the avg pace and distance is about right. It is much more accurate on the treadmill than the readings from the watch accelerometer. About 5% or better accuaracy for avg pace and distance (spikes up and down at a faster pace).

This seller had this phenomenal product for a great price. This is so valuable on long runs and I recommend using it if you are a moderated to pro runner.

This is an older style, but many state high school anbd college races prohibit GPS watches so these are a good choice for using a non-GPS Garmin sports watch.

This product is good if you need to track running cadence (which is why i purchased it). Since this connects with GPS devices there is no reason to use it as a distance or pace tracker unless you use the treadmill a lot.
