 Good pedometer August 13, 2007

I just wanted to write and commend you for your impeccable product. I bought your OMRON HJ0112 pedometer quite a while back and wore it religiously. One day I had it on while mowing our 6 acres, and at some point, it fell off and I didn't realize it. I found the pedometer about 6 months later out in the field. I had run it over with the tractor and it had mud caked into the buttons on the front. It had rained several times and endured the Texas heat and freezing temperatures. I cleaned it up and put in a fresh battery, and it still works. The only thing that broke on it is one of the top tabs of the clip that holds it onto your waistband. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend your product to anyone. It was the top rated pedometer in consumer reports.
The winner and still champ! December 1, 2005

If you are wondering whether you want a pedometer, let me add my vigorous "yes". Wearing a pedometer has a way of making you parse every step you take as exercise....even walking down the hall to ask an officemate a question raises your step count just a bit, and soon enough you will be raising your ambitions to 10,000 steps a day or even more without needing to make a production over going to the gym.
If you are wondering "which pedometer," I'll add my pitch for this nifty little Omron. My last pedometer: inaccurate, physically uncomfortable, impossible to wear with a dress, broke after 2 months.
My Omron: accurate, comfortable clip, even works if I just stick it in a pocket or purse, have dropped it frequently to no ill effects. Best of all, it has quite sophisticated features: it tracks not only steps, miles, and calories, but "aerobic steps" - if you keep walking for 10 minutes or more it counts as aerobic - it is even smart enough to let you pause for up to a minute and still count subsequent steps as aerobic. Finally, it has a 7-day memory that allows you to track all these features back a whole week so you can see your improvements.
I can't say enough about this product. I know they call it "premium" but for less than the cost of a couple of weeks at a gym, you'll have a permanent and genuinely practical exercise system. It is the best fitness value of any kind on the market.

I bought this for my 72-year-old father for Christmas since he recently had a heart attack and is now doing the 10,000 step regime. He had enrolled in some hospital-sponsored programs to teach him how to eat better and exercise more, and they gave him a cheap pedometer that never worked. He was getting discouraged, so thanks to the wonderful customers at Amazon, I did my homework and purchased this pedometer based on their reviews (which is primarily how I purchase 99% of my Amazon orders).
He has been using this pedometer since Christmas day and walks every night now. It is accurate and he likes all the features-- it measures regular steps, miles, aerobic steps, has a 7-day memory feature, and even a clock. The lanyard is a brilliant idea-- as many others have indicated, the belt clip can slip off, so the lanyard keeps it securely attached.
The best feature of this pedometer is the ease of which my dad was able to use it-- he set it up and got it working in a matter of minutes and the instruction booklet was clear and concise. There are no confusing displays or key combinations to remember, either, and the display is large enough for him to read without squinting (he's developing cataracts so sometimes reading is difficult for him).
For a small investment, this pedometer delivers what it promises.
MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO RECOMMENDED THIS PEDOMETER February 1, 2005

I purchased a Sportline 360 pedometer three years ago -- what a mistake! It only worked once -- then went into an inactive mode from which it never awakened. I should have returned it, but I thought that I must have done something wrong. After having professional trainers unsuccessfully try to get it working for me last year, I knew it was just a dud. Before buying this Omron Premium Pedometer, I read every pedometer review I could find -- the Omron Premium overwhelmingly received the highest marks. Now I want to add my "thumbs up" to the other reviews. I have had my Omron for a week and I love it. It is always on -- doesn't go into hibernation. It was easy to set up and counts steps perfectly. I have taken it to my fitness club -- the track there is a 1/5 mile track. I counted my steps as I walked around one time -- 196 steps. The pedometer counted out -- yes -- 196 steps. Love it. I bought this pedometer because of the great reviews it received at this site, so thank you all.

This is the pedometer of choice for me. I have purchased multiple brands and have not been pleased with them. This pedometer is a winner simply by being able to be carried in a pocket or bag; it works and is accurate whether it is in your bag, your belt loop or in your pocket. I have tested this pedometer against others and I have found this to be very accurate. I love the fact that it can tell the difference between just regular steps and aerobic activity. It has a seven day memory and it tracks all of the vital stats for the day so that you can compare your week's activity. The safety clip is ideal and if you are walking the dog or get jostled in any way; you do not have to worry about losing your pedometer. This is a premium item; well made and fairly sturdy compared to others that I have seen and "owned".
I have not seen this work on a stationary bike as some folks were asking about in the forum. A good buy.
This is the same model just packaged differently. The three extra batteries may come in handy but I would most likely not get them all at once because each battery that comes with the pedometer is good for six months. That means you would have a couple of batteries (that you paid extra for) just hanging around. It is up to you but I always worry about shelf life of batteries, etc. You are going to get a battery anyways with your purchase and can always get additional batteries as you need them. I know, some folks like to have extras. But just thought that I would add that to this review in case some folks felt they might not be getting one in the first place.
UPDATE:
I swear that there is a timer inside these batteries because almost at six months to a day; they give out. I suspect that having the multiple batteries hanging around until you use them isn't the best choice either; they seem to have a shelf life. Love the pedometer though. I have been able to purchase new batteries that seem to work at Best Buy.
Note: This pedometer is a terrific pedometer; but this specific offering is no longer available here but is still available elsewhere on Amazon. I can assure you that this product was so good that I intend to upgrade and get the next evolution of this pedometer. I will warn you that the batteries only have lasted for 6 months almost on the money.
You can get battery replacements at Best Buy; in fact if you have misplaced the little gadget that comes with the pedometer to get the screws out in the back; the Geek Squad will get their tiny phillips out and get the back off: you can use the Energizer 2025 (two to a package and then you have a spare) and then your pedometer is back in business. $5.99 for two spare batteries without missing any steps.
