I really like this pedometer. I tried the ‘classic pendelum swing’ type, and it wasn’t accurate at all. I’ve tested this one and found it to be quite accurate and helpful. It is nice because it can clip on or be put in your pocket, and it works either way.
I’m sure there are fancier, more expensive, Pedometers available….but the Omron HJ-112 was perfect for my needs. Easy to use, inexpensive, and accurate.
I’m in sales — I’m all about quota and “making my numbers”.
I am also very glad I didn’t review this as soon as I got it. It’s not the easiest to set up. I got it, opened it and put in the battery and put it aside. The directions don’t flow and it took my techie hubby to bail me out– and only after several tries. My first thought was to send it back. So, to avoid my frustration– put the battery in only when you are ready to set it up.
But now, I am in love. The goal is 10K steps a day or 5 miles. They add up. Doing laundry, making the bed and breakfast, etc etc added about a mile. Then I went for my 3 mile walk. My walk has markers and I found it to be accurate. Then it was a birthday celebration and I had a larger meal than usual. So instead of the 10K steps, I walked around my pool several steps. It’s 6PM and I’m at 15K, and feeling light (vs fat) from the meal.
These steps add up, to and fro the shop center parking lot is 75 steps each way. How easy is this– you overeat a bit so step it up! It’s only easy cause you can see your progress.
K– skip the harness. It comes with a string already and the bundled harness is $3 and they’re gonna charge you shipping. I was discouraged reading the other reviews– some saying “get something more serious” at this price? But next one will be a watch, waterproof at that. You need pockets for this. You can put it in your purse, but I don’t take my purse in sales calls.
So, I learned about pedometers, quotas and after one day– feel great. I’m addicted! It keeps me moving– did I mention I’m in sales and love improving my numbers?
I am very pleased with this Pedometer. It’s simple and yet provides adequate information for a daily walking regimen. Experts say that one should walk 10,000 steps a day, which translates in to about 5 miles. I usually end up with 5,000 steps but with this device I know I can get to my goals easier.
Works great! I used this to get started working out again and I was starting off with long walks using this.
It counts steps and calories burned just fine.
