Walking - step counter, walking

Click here for more information This is the best pedometer that I have owned and yes I have had 4 of them...I reviewed many and am very happy with this purchase!!! It keeps accurate information for review for 7 days and does break down regular to moderate steps taken, miles and time...so if you walk, it keeps an accurate record...if you jog or speed walk, it keeps that accurate under moderate steps...It is not bulky, the clip holds tightly (even when you jog or speed walk) and it is very easy to read the numbers...What an easy set up also with the instuctions provided! I would highly recommend this one!! With my Amazon Prime membership, shipping was free and it came in 2 days!

This is a great pedometer. It works perfectly. I've owned others, and this one is the best. It has no frills whatsoever. It's a pedometer, pure and simple. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.



There's just one problem: It's so small, it's easy to lose. Mine lasted 2 weeks. I'm ordering another one.

Brought this thing on a trip to Disney with me to keep track of how much I was walking each day. To ensure it was accurate I took it jogging with me on a treadmill a couple times before. It was always within .1 mile of what I actually jogged. VERY accurate!

This is a lightweight pedometer that is easy to set up and use. Mine lasted about 3 days. I think it must have slipped off my belt when I sat down somewhere, because on the 3rd day of use I suddenly noticed that it wasn't there anymore. Maybe a stronger belt clip would have prevented the loss. It was a good product while it lasted.

June, 2009: This seemed like a good pedometer while it lasted. The first one slipped off my belt and disappeared so I bought a new one. It seemed to count steps accurately but after a couple of months the back of the pedometer that has the clip separated from the body of the pedometer. It seems that the little screws that hold the clip to the body came out and got lost. Now I have a pedometer in two pieces and no little screws to put it back together. I'm reluctant to buy this same device for the third time, though it worked well during its brief lifespan.

I bought two, one for my wife and one for me. Set up is easy, you just enter height, weight and set the clock. You don't have to enter your stride length. We have had the pedometers for about a month. They work well and seem to be way more accurate (on step count) than other pedometers that we have tried. There is a 4 second delay before it starts logging steps so I think it does a better job of recording true steps as opposed to every little jiggle you may make (it does count the steps you make in those first 4 seconds too). In addition to total steps it also logs moderate step count and time, defined as steps taken in the 3.0 to 6.0 METs as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine. The display is easy to read. The clip keeps the pedometer in place well. It has a seven day memory and automatically starts a new day of logging steps at midnight. We don't use the calorie and mileage trackers. Battery saver function is nice - it turns off the display after 5 minutes with no button being pressed (it does log steps even when the display is off).

This pedometer works great! It doesn't overcount (like if I shake my knee) like many others I tried. The moderate step counter is great for walkers and aerobic exercisers who want to track their progress and be sure their pace is good. The calorie counts seem low compared to the elliptical machine or charts for exercise, but that should just make you want to work harder to get the count higher.

I am on my fourth Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer. It works really well and seems to be very accurate in its count of steps. The features are great- all of them work well for me. I love this pedometer and I only have one issue. I keep losing it! One of my favorite features of the pedometer is its size, but it comes with a drawback- the belt clip is small, and the pedometer falls off. The spring clip in itself is strong- but it wriggles its way up the waist of my pants, and inevitably falls off. This time, I attached a rubber band to the pedometer and wound it around my belt loop in an attempt to keep it from falling. It has worked so far and is an inexpensive security device to keep this pedometer in place.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this thing is to work and how completely accurate it is. I work in a hospital and it clips and stays easily on my scrubs. I've already bought another one as a gift. One day I held it in my hand and walked over 300 steps with complete accuracy ... I can't ask for any better than that. The moderate steps feature is so important to me. There have been days when I felt like I was on my feet all day and my steps may have been near my 10,000 a day personal goal... but the moderate minutes were only 5-10. So I know that I still have some work to do to get to the 30 minutes goal of moderate exercise each day. I think it's a great motivator. - Step Counter - Walking - Fitness - Omron Pedometer

Click here for more information After using the Oregon Scientific pedometer with pulse meter (disaster - clip broke in 90 days, unit rendered useless) - I decided to go for a more utilitarian unit. Other than the batteries' demise, this unit has been quite usefull. The clip is stronger than my previous model; and testing with a 1 mile tracks shows the unit is off about 2.5%, which is not bad.While a little sparse on features, it gives you what you basically need; # of steps; distance; # of calories expended. If you are looking for basic, good value, this could be your winner.

I have had this Pedometer for over 6 months and have had no problems.



When I bought the pedometer I was starting a personal program to help me get into better shape. The pedometer was easy to configure to match my step size and the built in clock was convenient. Within about 10-15 minutes I was out walking and it was measuring distance and number of steps.



The Pedometer comes with instructions for setting your step size so that it measures correctly when you walk. The price has stayed very consistent, so don't look for it to go down.



Before purchasing you might consider that McDonalds recently was running a promotion to encourage people to purchase their healthier meals. They had adult happy meals that included healthy items and came with a pedometer. Also, some local stores (such as Walmart) might have pedometers for less than the price for this one. I can't speak to the durability of those items and considering my sucess with the Omron Pedometer I might just spend a few more dollars to get something that I know is a good product.

After having three $20 Sportline pedometers break on me (in various ways) in less than two weeks each, I found the Omron in a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy (for more than Amazon charges). After a month, I'm delighted with it. For one thing, it hasn't broken. It measures steps, aerobic steps, distance traveled, and calories burned. There's a + and - adjustment that lets you fine-tune the sensitivity. It resets itself to zero at midnight, and keeps a 7-day memory of all your data. I consider it well worth the money.

This product has a very "toy like" feel. The case is flimsy, the buttons feel funny, just toy-like. It only works when positioned horizontally on

your belt. Seems to work OK, but don't dare drop it or it'll break. The light plastic case has a heavy metal weight glued inside.



Why not spend $8 more for the superb Omron HJ-112? The HJ-112 has dual pendulums inside so it counts accurately whether on your belt or in your pocket. And it's built like a tank.

It is so rare to find consumer electronics where the manufacturer takes pains with every little detail, that I was pleasantly surprised by this pedometer. At the price, it is a minor work of genius.



First off, the thing actually works, which right away puts it in the top 10% of pedometers. The casing is lightweight and attractive, with a secure clip.



You must take a few minutes to set it up, but the task is much simplified by a well-written, thorough, and easy-to-follow owner's manual.



First, you set the clock. The only thing the clock really does is to reset the device at midnight every day.



Second, you set your weight. This enables it to calculate calorie expenditures.



Third, you set your "stride length", which enables it to calculate distance traveled from the number of steps.



Finally, you clip it on, take 100 or 200 steps, and then check it for accuracy. If the number of steps recorded is not the same as the steps taken, there is a sensitivity setting you can adjust.



There are four screens you can view in succession by pressing a button: Total steps taken, total mileage walked, total "aerobic" mileage walked and the time it took, and total calories expended by walking for the day. I haven't taken pains to assess its accuracy, other than the steps counted, because I don't really care if it records 2 miles when I've walked 2.03. It is certainly close enough to precise measurement for my taste.



The aeorbic steps feature is nice -- you can wear it all day, and if you take an "exercise walk" you don't have to reset it.



I'm delighted with my purchase.

The Omron HJ-105 Pedometer is a marvel of modern technology. Once properly set and calibrated, it will give you accurate readings for your steps, aerobic steps, calories and miles on a daily basis with a seven-day memory. It is easy to set, simple to read and not encumbered by unnecessary features. True, this is a basic model, but I certainly don't mind paying a small sum for an instrument devoid of frills but which does the job. I simply do not need the pedometer to "talk" to me for an additional 20 or 30 bucks. If you're looking for an honest, well-made and designed pedometer, this one may be just right for you. - Walking - Weight Loss - Fitness - Exercise

Click here for more information I would get up from bed in the morning, sit in the car while i drive 30 minutes to work, then sit in a cubicle for most of the day, drive back home, then sit in front of my TV or computer for the rest of the night till I retire to my bed. Not alot of walking. To be honest, the main reason why i was inclined to purchase this was from watching Super Size Me ( if you havnt seen it, I suggest you do) so I decided to see how much walking I actually do and it wasnt good-- a mere 2500 steps a day, which is about a mile. Just to put things into perspective, the average newyorker walks around 4-5 miles a day. I've had this pedometer for about 2 weeks now and I've worn it everyday without fail. After 2 weeks, I'm very happy with the performance and features of this excellent little device.

Pros:

-very small ( a little bigger than a pack of gum)

-seems to work anywhere, pocket, purse, bag

-Counts steps, calories and distance

-split mode, which is useful when pacing a specific event during the day

-7 day memory

- auto-off turns the pedometer off when not in use and turns back on when it detects movement, which im sure lengthens battery life



cons:

-too small sometimes, I've lost this thing a few times already in the big void of my purse

-suggest reading the manual to use to full extent.



I'm very happy with this pedometer, and im even thinking of picking up a few more for gifts.

This pedometer excels beyond my initial expectations, especially consdiering that the price is reasonably lower than other similar pedometers like the Omrom. I've always been an Omrom fan but the last two i had from them ended up breaking within a month. Im actually pretty happy about this one by Ozeri. Its packed full of features and is suprisingly more accurate than i had initially expected. I guess time will tell if this one will last me but its been great so far.

I've never used a pedometer before but decided to get this to help give me some measurable figures when I work out. I've had this device for about a week and what I really like about it is I can just pick it up, put it in my pocket and just go (running, walking, etc) and it will automatically start taking measurements. I don't have to worry about turning it on and setting it up before I start. I've started just putting it in my pocket at when I'm at work and seeing how many steps I take it each and how far I've walked. It's interesting to see how much walking I do even though our office building is pretty small. I would definitely recommend this little device to anyone who works out or would like to improve their health through exercise and is looking for an easy to use, reliable product.

I have it for a couple of weeks now. Will come back later to update.



Likes:

1) Does appear to count the steps reasonably well

2) Small and easily fits into pockets



Dislikes:

1) Way off on kcals and distance, even though I had set the step length quite accurately. I have a Polar heart rate monitor and a treadmill and while the kcal reading of the heart rate monitor and the treadmill are quite similar, the kcal reading on the pedometer differ considerably with the other two.

2) Within the first week of use, the unit reset by itself and all my initial settings were lost. NOTE: Make sure you don't lose the little manual that comes with it so that you can go back and change the initial settings. Getting into the mode to change the settings is non-intuitive and you'll certainly need to follow the manual.

3) Resets the step count to zero after a week

4) A bit pricey considering the quirks and lack of features





Recommendation: Given what I know now I would not buy it.

I bought this about a month ago thinking i'd shed some pounds before school starts, but too bad that never really happend. Not exactly my proudest momment, i know but im sure most of you guys have been in my shoes :)



anyways, this pedometer is the only thing that i really kept using, even till now since all you gotta do is stick it in your pocket. this little thing is packed full of gadgetes and gizmos that that takes surprisingly accurate readings and provides you with many different data outputs such as calroies burned, total distance travelled, and of coures, the number of steps. what surprised me most is i left this in my jean pocket while it went through a full cycle wash. I luckily got it before it went to the dryer but it still works! Overall, its a small nifty gadget that's a great tool to pace your activies and half the time. Just be sure to check your clothes before you do the laundry since its so small.

Running, walking, jogging, you name it I probably do it quite often. Maintaining a fit body is a priority to me, especially being in the military.



This pedometer has proven to be durable, efficient, and cost-effective. What more could you ask for?

Click here for more information This is a casual pedometer. This is not a scientific instrument.



My favorite thing about this pedometer is the clock -- it is summer in Arizona, and wearing a watch makes me itchy. Handy to have a clock on this thing.

The second best thing about the pedometer is the size -- it is slim and tinier than my MP3 player.



It is easy to set and easy to reset.



However, this baby counts steps I did not take. Seriously. Just putting it on a dresser overnight can pick up a couple of hundred steps on the counter (from traffic vibrations? who knows?)

Additionally, it is not sweat-resistant. I've tried it on a lanyard and in a pocket -- if you get it sweaty working out, the display goes blank.



I use it all the time as a clock -- it quite handy for that purpose. But it is basically useless at its designed function. Put a stopwatch and a beep timer on it, take away the step counter, and it would be a better product, in my opinion.

I got this pedometer at a store because its design was appealing, and pedometers can provide a lot of inspiration to exercising right. Now, I regret it, because its many cons have made it useless as a worthy tool to track steps.



Pros:



Mainly, the looks and design. Not only does this pedometer look cool, but its design is beneficial as well. It's so thin, that you can just slip it into a sock, or put it in a small, tight pocket. The sleek gray color and location of the buttons make it look cool, too. The design of this pedometer make it much more visually appealing than other pedometers, but...



Cons:



The fatal flaw of this pedometer is its inaccuracy. It's so sensitive that it easily records steps to your slightest movements even when you're sitting still or down. Unintentionally moving around in a pocket triggers the oversensitive sensor as well. Even the action of putting it in your pocket to start the day triggers four or five steps. I've found that this pedometer sometimes records TWICE the amount of steps as another more reliable one that I bought after this one.



Surface is a bit too weak and prone to minor scratches, fingerprints, and dents. I find that the surface of this pedometer is a bit weak. It's prone to scratching and little dents if you abuse it too much or over-clean it. This is not really a big issue, but I thought I might point it out anyway. It attracts fingerprints and if you press too hard on the wrong part of the device, you'll get one of those irreversible little dents. I did this accidentally when pressing and missing one of the buttons (oops!).



Price. Seriously, the price on this pedometer is just incredibly ridiculous. For such a poor product, the price is just crazy.



Overall, I think I made it clear that you don't want to buy this product. I'd recommend a Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer instead. It's about the same price but much more accurate.

I bought this Pedometer yesterday at Dicks sporting goods... It will be going back to the store today for a refund. Extraordinarily sensitive and inaccurate. If you wave your hand back and forth 1 inch very slowly it will count up. Sitting in a chair and shifting it will count up. This is an absolute POS and should be taken off the shelves in every store.

Somehow, the Sportline brand has gotten a position in nearly every retail outlet like target, kmart, dicks, etc. So I have had the misfortune to have tried 3 different Sportline pedometer models (none of which have lasted or worked), including this 304 hanging version. A family member thought this hanging style would be more comfortable than the belt clip style. However, hanging from a belt loop it didn't give an accurate count. Neither would it work when carried in a pocket. The final straw was when we wore it together with a new Timex W180US belt-clip style. The Sportline 304 didn't even come close to the number of steps shown by the Timex. The Timex company needs to get some shelf space for their pedometer line. Presently, the only place I can find this better pedometer is at Amazon and I have just ordered my second Timex pedometer. - Fitness - Health - Omron Pedometer - Pedometer

Omron Pedometer - pedometer, step counter

Click here for more information I think this is an excellent pedometer -- it does the job well and accurately. It counts your steps whether it is clipped on, in your pocket or in a purse. The auto-reset to zero at midnight helps keep you honest. Like the software - a couple of clicks and your data is automatically uploaded. It shows your results on a daily, weekly, monthly,and annual basis. Omron is the only company I have seen that provides you with software.



I think the manual that comes with the device could be slightly improved but here are some tips that may help you with setting it up and using it for the first time:



(1) With the back cover off, make note of the serial number. It is engraved into the case in tiny letters near the bottom. It is a six character mix of letters and numbers. You'll need this for registration later.



(2) Before starting to configure your pedometer, you will need to calculate the length of your stride. Pick a starting point and walk 10 regular steps. Measure the distance in inches and divide by 10. Make a note of the result to use later.



(3) In the software, I suggest setting modest "daily goals" to start. Adjust your goals up or down anytime through the software's Options menu as you get use to the pedometer.



(4) The "Set" button on the front is smaller than the others and is intended to be used occasionally to reset the time, your weight, etc. as needed - it does not reset or delete your step data. As a good practice, upload your pedometer data regularly as a backup. In the unlikely event that the "Set" button is accidently pressed , just press "Set" another 4 or 5 times and you'll come back to your normal "step" screen.



(5) Step count - this pedometer shows total steps (both aerobic and regular steps)in the "step" count screen. To see only the aerobic steps accomplished for the day, go to the next screen. It keeps a separate count for aerobic steps (60 steps or more per minute continuously for 10 minutes or longer).



(6) While you can view the last 7 days of step data on the device itself, it actually holds up to 42 days in memory. All data is viewable once uploaded to your pc.



Hope this helps... I highly recommend this device.

I have not used pedometers much, but really like this unit for a number of reasons. First, it is quite compact and can comfortably fit in a pocket and not feel bulky (you can wear with a clip too or hang it from a cord off a belt). Second, it really seems to accurately count steps. I tried it a few times by counting 50 or 100 steps with the unit in my pocket and it seems to be right on target as a step counter. To measure distance, I walked a 100 feet a couple of times to set my stride. With the stride in place, the distance measure seems pretty accurate. I walked a known distance (about a mile and a half) and then looked at both the step count and distance. The distance was a little short, which meant I needed to make a slight adjustment to the value of the stride. I made the same walk again and got the calculated distance was exactly on target.



Conclusion: This is an accurate pedometer in terms of counting steps and estimating distance.



I also really like the software. You simply attach the pedometer to your computer (I have a a PC with XP) and the data then download. You can look at your total number of steps by day (or hour within the day), the number of steps at an aerobic rate (defined as part of walking ten minutes or more at a stretch), and distance walked. There are also estimates of calories burned and grams of fat lost, based on you weight and age -- I have no idea if these are accurate. As a nice feature, you can look at all statistics by day, week, or month.



The software is very easy to use and as bonus also interfaces with some of Omron's blood pressure unit.



I have really enjoyed using this pedometer in that I can slip it into my pocket in the morning (and am glad it doesn't take up much room) and then look at my step count for the day. I have given myself a daily target (10000 steps) and am now finding myself doing more things to get in extra steps each day -- parking further from my destination, walking a bit further to pick up for lunch, or just treating myself to a 10-15 minute walk during my workday. These things add up and now I have a sense of what all I need to do during the day to reach my step goal.



You pay a bit extra (not that much) for a pedometer with many features, including the software. I suppose you could save a few dollars by not getting a version with the software, but for me, being able to easily track progress is one of the best things about this pedometer (can also print out reports, output data to a spreadsheet if you want). It seems to be worth a bit more to have this sort of tracking (though I do wish they had sotware for Macintosh computers!).

Omron Pedometer - pedometer, step counter

10000 Steps - walking, step counter

Click here for more information I love my little pedometer! It's just the added motivation to get moving that I needed.

The HJ-203 is small and light, with an easy to read large display.

Benefits are:

- Accurately counts steps whether it is in my pocket, on my belt, or in my purse.

- Fastens securely with a locking clip

- 7 day history for steps, distance, & calories (with a separate counting for exercise/action mode)

- Special mode for exercise - this really helped accuracy while running!



I would highly recommend this pedometer. And as a fun feature, if you make the 10,000 step goal, there is a small figure on the display celebrating your accomplishment!

I wanted something I could put in my pants pocket during the day no matter if I had shorts, jeans or dress pants. This fits the bill. Easy to setup and read out and keeps 7 days of data so I do not need to check it every day.

I am very pleased with this item. I owned a previous model of Omron that seemed to wear out and not keep steps as accurately at the end of its life. I found that model pretty accurate until after about 2 years of regular use. I knew Omron offered quality products, and decided to replace my failing pedometer with this newer model. This is definitely the most accurate pedometer I have ever had. As others have mentioned, it is necessary to ensure that the pedometer remain in a near perfect vertical or horizontal position in order for it to accurately record. Amazingly, it works perfectly well while even being placed completely upside down, as long as it is fairly vertical. I usually don't have trouble with positioning, though. I like that this model is small, so it is easy to conceal. However, I do miss not having a clip for it, like I did for my previous pedometer. Being a woman who rarely wears pockets, most of the time, I place my pedometer into position in my undergarments and use the clip to prevent a loss in case the pedometer dislodges. I know that eventually the plastic clip that comes with this device will wear out, (as it did with my previous model), so I went to the baby/infant section of my local department store and bought myself a stainless steel, durable clip that is used to prevent loss of pacifiers. This will make the perfect replacement when my clip eventually wears out. I have used the activity function, and although it is interesting, I admit I don't use it that often. I'm mainly more interested in the total cumulated steps at the end of the day. All in all, I really enjoy this pedometer and am glad I bought it. I would recommend it for its accuracy and small size. I even appreciate the animated character that jumps in celebration when I reach my 10,000 steps. As silly as this may seem, I know that on more than one occasion, I found creative ways in getting steps, just so I could view my celebrating character. You will not be disappointed in this purchase. - Walking - Step Counter - Omron Pedometer - Fitness
