I was looking for an accurate pedometer. I spend a great portion of my time on my feet, walking. I was curious to know exactly how far I walked each night, so I looked into pedometers.
I chose the Omron because it was supposed to be very accurate with little hassle to setup and carry around.
I have been using this everyday for three months now. It was simple to setup. Took about five minutes total.
The results are very accurate. I sometimes count steps in my head, and check the result with the Omron. They are always either spot on or very close.
It seems to have a bit of trouble with spins and start/stop motion that involves only two or three steps. I can't image how a pedometer would record that, and I don't hold that against this device.
Also, the belt clip is a critical component. I'll explain the whole system: The holster clips onto the belt; the device slips into the holster and his held with a tension grip; a string runs from a lanyard on the device to a plastic alligator clip that attaches to a belt loop.
The device slips out of the holster very easily. When this happens if the clip were not attached, the device would fall to the floor and very likely shatter.
The clip works very well and has saved my pedometer from crashing to the floor many many times.
I really like this Omron pedometer. It costs a bit more than other brands, but it is very accurate and the price encourages me to use it and take care of it.
(I walked 14940 paces yesterday and 12419 the day before. Told you I walked a lot.)Get more detail about Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer.
