Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer

This is the first pedometer that works well with the way I walk. I can attach it to my belt or most of the time I just place it in my pocket. It is great.

I've used a lot of pedometers and most of them have had either limited lifespans, inaccuracies or both. I have counted hundreds of steps on this pedometer and it's always accurate within 1-2 steps. I love the fact that it has a clip to attach to my belt so it doesn't fall and get lost. Bought one for my husband and we both have walked more knowing steps are counted!! My goal is 10,000 steps/day and this has helped up my average tremendously.
Only complaint would be I'd like it a bit smaller so it didn't bulge on my belt, but that's a minor complaint. In short, I LOVE IT!!

I have used a step counter on and off for several years. I love this one! I use it just to count the number of steps I take each day. It resets itself at midnight, so I don't have to remember. I can put it in my pants pocket, so I don't have to fuss with a silly clip that never stays put. I was worried that the reset button would accidentally be pushed in my pocket, but it hasn't. The resent button is small and reccessed (needs a paperclip end to push it in). The mode button is occassionally pushed accidentally, but this does not affect the gatherng of data. I have tested it several times and it seems accurate within a few steps each time. It does not count vibration as steps, so I don't get off the motorcycle to find that I've been "walking" while riding. It says that it is not accurate for sports other than walking; I've not tested this out (other than motorcycle and dirt-bike riding).

It has some functions that I do not use. You can put in your stride length and it will tell you how many miles you have walked. Because my stride varies, depending on the terrain and situation, I have never considered this to be very accurate, so I ignore it. It will also compute calories, but then you have to multiply the number it gives you by something else manually. Again, I find this not to be an accuate way to guage calories burned, so I ignore it. It also tells you how many of your steps were "aerobic." The criteria used for aeorobic is moving more than 10 minutes without more than a minute rest and walking at least 60 steps per minute. Interesting, but not particularly motivating for me. It also comes with a clipped holster to attach to your waistband or belt. I don't use this; I find the pocket method to be much more secure. Supposedly you can also keep it in your purse and it will be accurate, but I have not tested this out yet.

The only thing that would make this better for me is if it were waterproof (I use a ziplock sandwich bag on rainy days)and if it were thinner (still makes less of a bulge in my pocket than my cell phone).

If I were to somehow lose or destroy this tomorrow, I would promptly buy another.

I've had several pedomoeters, all of which were totally inaccurate. The Omron is the best I have had, to date. It's not difficult to set (if you have used other digital gadgets) and it's fun to wear. Gives you lots of information, too!
