Great little motivator!
Got this about a year and a half ago, and just put in the third new battery. It ran about 8 months on that last one. This is a sturdy pedometer..I have dropped it several times to no ill effect. It is easy to read on the go, and accurate. Does anyone know a good source for batteries? I paid .00 at the watch outlet near us. Happy walking, this one is the best!
Accurate. Easy. Functional.
Great pedometer. I keep on checking on its accuracy and it is 98% accurate (well, more like 99%.). Only 1 or 2 steps off in 500, which is pretty accurate.
It would be perfect if it were waterproof
This is everything I want it to be. The problem is really user related. It is great that it works inside the pocket but it is so easy to forget to take the pedometer out of your pocket before we put our pants in the laundry. It sometimes takes a few washings without a problem but eventually, they fail. What does it mean when you put a battery inside a hot dryer? Nothing has happened so far but I wonder about it. I have replaced four pedometers so far. Otherwise, it's a great incentive and reliable so I continue to replace it.
Best One Out There
My husband is a board certified Family Practice Physician. I manage his medical practice. We offer medically supervised weight loss programs through our office and every one that goes through the program gets the Omron HJ-112! Dr. Armistead personally used this prior to us starting our weight loss programs and did so after MUCH research as always on all the pedometers out there!! Highly recommended in my & Dr. Armistead's opinion!!
Reliable product
This is my second Omron Pedometer bought in 2008. I have not only used it myself but have liked it enough to gift it to a friend, and have recommended it to others.
Simple, straightforward to use, reliable and consistent.
The only drawback is for people like me who like to walk and run. Because the calculation of the distance is based on number of steps, if the step is any shorter or longer, it does not really compensate for that. Once you've setup step length - thats the basis of calculation.
2 step settings would have helped!
