ABSTRACT:
An electronic pedometer has a walk sensor that detects a walking movement of a user and outputs a walk signal corresponding to the walking movement. The walk sensor has a sensitivity axis along which a detection sensitivity of the walking movement by the walk sensor becomes a maximum. A calculation circuit calculates a number of walking steps of the user in accordance with the walk signal. A strap mounts the walk sensor on a part of the user's body so that the sensitivity axis of the walk sensor is located within a range of 30 degrees or less in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction from an axis disposed at 90 degrees with respect to a longitudinal direction of the strap.
