UPDATE 2009: I don't see prominent mention of the fact that the pedometer can be slipped out of its large plastic clip, and the smaller pedometer then fits very well in the fifth pocket of 5-pocket jeans (the "watch pocket"--the HJ-112 is about the size of an old-time pocket watch). This is a perfect spot: a good location on the hip near the belt line for accuracy, the fifth pocket holds it flat against the body, and the pedometer is out of the way, not jangling around with all the other things carried in regular pockets. (My HJ-112 is still working perfectly after more than three years of constant daily use.)
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. This is really an excellent pedometer, and I never thought I'd find one.Get more detail about Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer.
