Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer

Customer Review: Step counter is spot on- If yours STOPS WORKING see my update
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this pedometer based on the other reviews. After using it for a month I have to say I have been very pleased with it. It keeps 7 days of steps, which is nice since I do not always remember to record my steps every day. It also has a clock, which is helpful for those of us who have problems wearing watches (something about my chemistry or electrical charge- I can kill a watch after just a month of wearing them, even expensive watches). It is dead on as far as actually recording steps. I have tested it time and time again and I have yet to be disappointed. A warning on reading the steps, it will start recording after the first 4 seconds of movements to avoid false readings. That threw me off at first until I read the directions again and found out that was normal. It is also very sturdy, since I have dropped it at least 4 times with no problems. I have had it slip off maybe 3 times, and I wear it everyday. This problem is easily solved. On the top of the clip is a small hole. Just thread a piece of string through the hole, tie it in a knot with some of the string hanging off in a loop and pin to your waistband with a safety pin. It cost about 10 cents and is less bulky then the leashes they sell.

cons:
*bulky- it stick out more then I would like under my shirt.
*no calorie counter- oh well, still a great pedometer.
*awkward to read- the digital part faces out, so it is hard to look down and read how many steps you have taken at any given time. It is not enough to cause problems, it is just a quirk of mine.

The only thing I really do not like is its bulk. It is about as thick as Sharpie marker cap. I ordered another, thinner pedometer, but I will still use this one on occasion when my shirt is tucked in.

****Update****
The pedometer stopped working for no reason one day. The clock worked, but no step counting. I took the battery out and placed it back in- no change. I was not happy about it. I left it on the counter over night and it started working again. So just in case this happens to anyone else they may want to try leaving it sitting out after resetting it by taking the battery out.

A few steps toward a healthier life

Walking is a great way to stay healthy. In fact, walking 10,000 steps a day is widely recommended by health and fitness professionals. And when you track your steps with a pedometer, like the Omron HJ-150, studies show you're likely to increase your total number of steps a day by about 2,000, or 1 mile.*

Getting Started

Warm Up First-Before your walk, stretch (arm circles, hip circles and leg lifts) to get your blood flowing and reduce the risk of injury.

Use a Pedometer?Omron Pedometers are the partners you can count on when you want to accurately track your daily routine and help you reach your recommended 10,000 daily steps.

Set Goals?Begin slowly and work your way up. By setting goals you'll push yourself farther and achieve more.

Mix It Up?Add variety to your routine by changing pace, walking uphill or just changing your route.

Add Resistance?Include some upper-body exercises as you walk, such as arm reaches or carrying water bottles in each hand to increase your calorie burn.
