I honestly don’t know much about Pedometers, but this was recommended to me through Amazon’s “Find the Perfect Gift”. My co-worker is a deligent walker so when this was recommended I had a “duh, why didn’t I think of that?” moment.

From looking at it THROUGH the packaging, it looks like a good little unit. It is a little larger then some, but nothing that would be too irritating. It supposidly comes with a strap AND clip so it lessens your chance of dropping or loosing it. All around, it looks like a good product – I will just have to wait and see what my co-worker says after she calibrates and uses it!

This is the worst. I used it three times and did not put it through any rough wear. It just stopped working!!! You sold me a piece of garbage. You should be ashamed.

Look, I just saw some guy online crowing about noting his Omron’s step totals in his pocket Moleskine, and it makes me cringe. Just want to let y’all know that you can get a good pedometer for about three bucks at any big drug store, and a dollar notebook to record your results, besides. I’ve got both of these things, adn they’ve served me well for over a year now.

That way you’ll save, oh, thirty dollars and be able to do something else a lot more fun.

I have purchased several Pedometers in the past even one that was recommended by Consumer Report that counted steps even when I wasn’t moving. In addition the clip broke when I tried to put it on my belt. My sister bought the Omron HJ112 and the fact that it stores several days of data was very helpful and it also resets itself each morning so that I can grap it and run out the door. I wear it at work and when I work out at the gym. Several friends plan to purchase this item because I told them how well it works compared to those they purchased. I highly recommend this pedometer to people who want to count their steps with the 10,000/day goal of good health.

The pedometer booklet says it includes a battery. All it included was a black rubber foam circle where the battery should be.

Now I have to buy a battery! I definitely feel cheated by this company and do NOT recommend this product.
