 The best one, no matter how unlikely it looks November 15, 2005

I've bought half a dozen pedometers. Some were as complicated as computers, and never worked right. Others were brain-dead simple step counters, which were inaccurate and broke within a few weeks. This Omron HJ112 looks very unlikely, but really it is far and away the best; this is the one to buy. It has just enough smarts to be convenient, but is easy to set up--30 seconds. For daily use, it is dead simple--just clip it on every morning, it has reset itself at midnight. It counts steps in big numbers, and it really knows what a step is: you can't fool it by jiggling up and down (like the others). I've counted steps (every time a foot hits the ground) over several blocks, and the Omron HJ112 almost always is precisely correct to the exact count. It's very flexible about how you wear it (upside down, even in a pocket), and--despite the picture--its size is no problem at all. I wear it clipped to the waistband of my underwear, under a shirt, and never know it's there. This is really an excellent pedometer, and I never thought I'd find one.
I love my Omron Pedometer November 14, 2005

We bought our pedometers in anticipation of last year's trip to Walt Disney World. Watch out! The number of steps (averaged 16,000 per day) will scare you - but gave you a better idea why your feet hurt. This pedometer has become my weight loss talisman. I started Weight Watchers in Feb '05 and always wear my pedometer to remind me to EXERCISE! (I have lost 40 lbs since Feb - partially due to remembering to walk!)
The pedometer has been reliable and works very well. I have been able to use it to gauge aerobic walking (great exercise). I highly recommend this pedometer. I have tried others and they really don't accurately track your walking.

After using, being dissatisfied with, and discarding a half dozen or so other pedometers, I can honestly say that the Omron is the best of the bunch. The setup is simple, it's incredibly rugged (I've dropped it on the pavement more times than I can remember), and its sensitivity is unmatched by any pedometer I've used before. A major advantage is that it records steps taken, calories, etc., even when tucked inside a pocket of your clothing or inside your purse (assuming you carry a purse)...It has a lot of useful features (including the seven day memory for number of steps taken, calorie count, distance). I am totally pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone.
 great little pedometer November 7, 2005

I like this pedometer very much. The only thing I wish it could do is calculate the difference in calories burned from walking a regular pace and aerobic walking. Maybe that just isn't possible.
This thing is great, but... November 2, 2005

Like many of the other reviewers, I too decided to buy this pedometer only because I was tired of clipping the other ones to my belt, etc. So, for me, the main attraction was that you could put it in your pocket and it would count steps. Here's what I discovered about my unit:
1) It is somewhat big. It's about 3" in length and about 2" in width (oval shaped as in the picture), and it is fairly thin. But still not too big to fit in a pocket or anything like that.
2) You can use a holder to attach the item to your belt. However, given the size of this, I feel funny when I do that.
3) Accuracy - This thing is very accurate when I attach it to my belt using the holder. However, when I put it in my pant pocket, it is consistently wrong. It always credits me with about 108 steps when I take 100 steps (so, it's off by about 8%). The good thing is that it is very consistent. So I always subtract 8% of the reading to figure out my 'real' steps.
4) Features - I actually didn't even realize it had so many nice features until I started using the item. History back to the last 7 days is quite expected. But it displays the time while you simultaneously read your steps/miles/cal, etc. And it can count 'aerobic' steps (steps you take for more than 10 minutes continuous or at a certain fast pace). It may motivate you to take more 'aerobic' steps since these would be more beneficial than your everyday steps.
Overall: While I was disappointed with the lack of accuracy when this item is placed in the pant pocket, the fact that it is consistent in its error, and the added features made me want to keep it. I think it deserves a 4 star rating and I recommend the item.
