Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer Review

I was trying to decide between the Omron Premium Pedometer and the Sportbrain. After reading all of the positive reviews for the Omron Premium Pedometer, I was convinced that this was what I wanted. I have not been disappointed! Without repeating what other reviewers have already said, I'd like to point out a few of my favorite features.

The seven-day memory feature is especially helpful for me to track my progress. For those who want to track their progress automatically on the Internet and don't mind paying a monthly fee, you should look at the Sportbrain pedometer line.

Back to my Omron, the device also automatically resets itself at midnight. When you put the device on in the morning, it's reset to zero with the seven previous day's measurements in memory. How cool is that?!

Quiet. Man, this thing is quiet as opposed to the click click click of cheaper pedometers. As far as I can tell, it makes no sound at all. I wanted something that I could wear often and not have it annoy me and others around me. I can wear this pretty much all day and not know it's there. I also enjoy the fact that it registers steps while inside my pocket so that I can wear it discreetly at work.

Setup takes a few minutes because you have to walk ten steps, measure and divide by 10 to convert that to the length of your average stride. This info, along with the time and your weight, gets entered into the pedometer during initial setup and takes no more than 15 minutes. My setup might have taken longer because I redid my ten steps several times to make sure I was fairly consistent in my stride.

If I had to point out a weakness, and it's a minor one, the holder which attaches to your waist could be a little more secure where it clips to your belt. As some other reviewers have noted, I bent over and mine fell off once the first day I had it. No problems though, as it still works fine.

I haven't written a lot of product reviews, but the Omron Premium Pedometer is so cool, I just had to spread the word! If you're serious about walking and want to measure your progress, this great little gadget is the way to go.Get more detail about Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer.
