'DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX, UP TO A POINT.'
Strengths:
Small, light, easy to read display. Easy to use once you've played with it for a while. Good, strong belt clip.
Weaknesses:
Slightly tricky to set up; however it's easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Overall:
A pedometer can only approximate the distance travelled. If you stay on easy, level ground it is quite accurate, however the variation in pace distances in hill walking affect the accuracey quite markedly.

'HOPE YOU CAN READ UPSIDE DOWN'
Strengths:
Easy to set up. Gives a choice of km or miles. Several modes, distance, step, calories used and timer.
Weaknesses:
Clip will ping off belt if bending down. I secure mine with a piece of string attached to pedometer with duck tape, and then attached to shorts with safety pin! A dedicated eyelet would have been useful. Why have Silva designed it so that when it's attached to your belt the readout is upside down? Is it so your travelling companion can read it for you. Good job I can read upside down.
Overall:
Okay, but I have used better.

'GOOD FUNCTIONS POOR IN EXECUTION'
Strengths:
Does pretty much everything you need it to in terms of readout, tho as mentioned, you have to take it off to read it.
Weaknesses:
Only one means of attachment, prone to falling off. A velcro beltloop or something would be better
Overall:
Not bad, but could be a whole lot better
