The invention is a device that attaches to musical equipment/instruments or fitness equipment, that can automatically track and display the duration of time a user has used the equipment using novel multi-factor verification from multiple sensors. The device includes a piezo vibration sensor, an accelerometer/gyroscope, a light sensor and IR sensor, a microprocessor, a battery for power, non-volatile memory, a mounting system, an inbuilt display, an antenna with means of wireless communication, and at least one button. The device functions via a multi-level verification process to ensure correct usage has been detected. The sensors to detect use are a piezo vibration sensor, accelerometer/gyroscope and a light sensor. In addition, the device also allows a user to select and create configurations to detect use of a variety of different objects. This could involve changing different sensor priorities, changing sensors sensitivity or disabling sensors.
