Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity
Customer Review: Get Physical!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent tool for becoming more active. I recommend it to many people to help realize how little they really move in a day. Then, it serves to help inspire self improvement in a few steps a day to a more acitve lifestyle. Ideally 10,000 steps. The clip holds well, rarely falling off you. There is no resetting like other pedometers since it has an internal clock and memory. Using the "moderate steps" is also a great way to get the cardio type activity for at least 30 minutes a day, which is a way to help your metabolism, blood pressure, weight loss, and hopefully preventing diabetes. I will jog in place folding laundry, waiting on kids, or anytime to try to get the 10,000 steps and/or 30 minutes a day. Then, my extra weight, comes off easily!Customer Review: Omron HJ-151
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this pedometer for 3 weeks. I bought it because I am on leave from the gym due to surgery and wanted to make my walks productive. When I first began using the pedometer, it was difficult to get my walking in the moderate range. I have since learned how to walk faster. I wear the pedometer every day to ensure that I reach 10,000 steps. I like having the freedom to walk anywhere and get instant feedback on whether I have met my daily walking goal. I highly recommend this model because of its small size, simplicity, its ability to track moderate steps, and long battery life. So far I have not had a problem with the pedometer falling off my pants but purchased a leash just in case.Customer Review: Motivational
Summary: 5 Stars
This pedometer is very easy to set up and use. The display is easy to read and change between functions (total steps, moderate, calories, and distance). It is attractive and fun to use.
I have seen some reviews here which said it was inaccurate. We have found that it sometimes "saves up" steps and adds them a few at a time, but when it does add them, it seems accurate.
My husband wears his on his belt and seems quite comfortable with it, but I usually wear it on a coin pocket because I find it uncomfortable on the waistband.
This simple device has kept up my motivation for walking, just by informing me of how much I have already done. It's fun and encouraging.
Customer Review: Excellent Pedometer but...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am on my fourth Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer. It works really well and seems to be very accurate in its count of steps. The features are great- all of them work well for me. I love this pedometer and I only have one issue. I keep losing it! One of my favorite features of the pedometer is its size, but it comes with a drawback- the belt clip is small, and the pedometer falls off. The spring clip in itself is strong- but it wriggles its way up the waist of my pants, and inevitably falls off. This time, I attached a rubber band to the pedometer and wound it around my belt loop in an attempt to keep it from falling. It has worked so far and is an inexpensive security device to keep this pedometer in place.Customer Review: Surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this thing is to work and how completely accurate it is. I work in a hospital and it clips and stays easily on my scrubs. I've already bought another one as a gift. One day I held it in my hand and walked over 300 steps with complete accuracy ... I can't ask for any better than that. The moderate steps feature is so important to me. There have been days when I felt like I was on my feet all day and my steps may have been near my 10,000 a day personal goal... but the moderate minutes were only 5-10. So I know that I still have some work to do to get to the 30 minutes goal of moderate exercise each day. I think it's a great motivator.
