I bought this new but barely used it. I used it a few times indoors, never outside. The digital counter seems to be working properly. A rope is included so it can be used with a rope. There are some scratches and dirt. This jump rope has a digital counter and can display miles, kilometers, and calories burned. The digital display can be switched with a single button. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, even if you don't have much space. The part where the rope attaches rotates 360°, allowing for smooth movement. It's a 2-way design, allowing for use with or without a rope.
