Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer
Customer Review: After having researched many pedometers...
Summary: 5 Stars
After having researched many pedometers, patience paid off well on choosing this one over all others! If it wasn't for the bad reviews on other pedometers, this one might not have been searched out (so thank you guys for taking the time to write your reviews...especially the not so good ones!).This pedometer is a breeze to set up and use. It has enough of the simple basics without adding any unnecessary features. It's smart in ergonomic and digital design, lightweight and small; plus, accurate! For whatever my opinion is worth, I love this little gem!
Customer Review: I splurged on this little gadget last night in a new effort to lose weight.
Summary: 5 Stars
I splurged on this little gadget last night in a new effort to lose weight. If you aren't already aware of it, you should aim for 10,000 steps each day for improving your health and losing weight. Get a good pair of walking shoes, grab this pedometer, and go for it (I prefer to also carry a tiny FM radio on my belt with earbud headphones and a pulse meter).
I've owned probably 3-6 other pedometers that I have paid about $10-$30 for each unit in the last two years. Some were lit, some weren't. Some opened like a pocket watch to reveal the display (looked like a tiny pager). Others played a little tune and could speak the numbers on the display. One was even a basic mechanical pedometer with an analog display similar to a car's odometer display.
I wish I had bought this pedometer before I wasted my money on all of the others. This pedometer has yet to give me a 'false' reading. A good example is at work where I am in my chair that leans back at an angle. Most all of the pedometers I owned would register several hundred paces just while I was sitting at work or while driving in the car. Their mechanics would sway back and forth as I shifted in my seat or drove over small bumps. This one did not give any false readings at all in the car - nor has it done so at work.
Not even counting on it's ability to estimate your caloric usage during walking or your distance traveled (another 'estimate' in my book), it has scored an A+ in my book for its accuracy as a pedometer in it's ability to sense each step reliably and accurately.
Again - I regret that I didn't get this pedometer first.
It is a little larger than most, but I believe that is due to it's internal mechanics. It feels like a pocket watch when you hold it in your hand. It's not too light - and it's not so heavy that it will weigh down on an elastic waist band.
I haven't had more than a day with it yet, but it has definately impressed me so far. After a week, I'll have a better idea how well it does at keeping track of steps over a 7 day period.
Customer Review: But recently I saw this "high end" Omron at Walgreen's and thought I'd give it a spin.
Summary: 5 Stars
Since getting attached to pedometers a couple of years ago, I've gone through at least a dozen--Digiwalkers, Oregon Scientifics, Omrons. Sometimes the clips would break (Digiwalkers have no spring clip), or the cover would snap off, or they would prove highly inaccurate, or they would be bulky, or they would be too "versatile" and intricate to be practical for someone who was simply looking to get in 10,000 steps for the day. For this reason, I recommended the Sportline 330 as a comparatively rugged, accurate, and inexpensive step counter that, if need be, could be replaced with minimal financial damage.
But recently I saw this "high end" Omron at Walgreen's and thought I'd give it a spin. Its primary allure: it claims to be so sensitive that you don't need to wear it on a belt or some other outer wear. Just drop it in your shirt pocket or purse and forget about it (of course, you'll need to do a 15-minute set-up first).
Guess what? The Omron people aren't pulling your leg. This is indeed a very sensitive little machine that does what it says it will do. I decided to test it by walking 30-40 minutes with the Omron in my shirt pocket and the Sportline clipped to my belt. At the end of my walk the Omron and Sportline were within 80 steps of each other. Moreover, it was the Omron that gave me the extra steps (a bonus if you consider the amount of time it takes--practically 2 hours--to log the full 10,000 steps).
Another nice feature is that on the next morning the device automatically resets to 0 steps while saving the previous day's count in memory. I haven't been impressed by other Omron's, but this model clearly appears to be an exception.
Customer Review: It is small and can be placed inside the shirt pocket or belt.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent companion for walkers. I walk 6 miles every day and this small instrument accurately measures the number steps, miles and calories. This is an Innovative product at a cheap price. It is small and can be placed inside the shirt pocket or belt. 5 star rating for this productCustomer Review: We are now taking daily walks and steadily increasing our daily excercise.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband purchased two of these pedometers in an effort to fight our increasingly sedentary lifestyle. I figured I would probably use it once & then throw it in a desk drawer & forget about it...but that didn't happen! Not only are these little devices easy to set up & use, but they do the trick of really making you realize how little excercise you get at a desk job!! Just clip it to your belt at the beginning of the day & forget about it. I almost died when I realized that on average I was walking less than 800 steps a day. Talk about a much needed wake up call. We are now taking daily walks and steadily increasing our daily excercise. Well worth the money.
