This skipping rope is good, but not for measuring. When you use it to measure, you have to do it from the side it wants, otherwise it doesn't count, and sometimes it counts from 999 and below, like 999-998-997... When you try to stop it afterwards, it messes up the measurement, meaning it reduces what it has written, and you think you have done few when you have done a lot. I would advise you to get another one, not this one, as I regret buying it.
