Customer Reviews of Omron HJA-301 Pace and Distance Tracker, Yellow
Customer Review: Simple, Reliable, Multi-function Pedometer
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I received this item through the Amazon Vines program. I have had several pedometers through the years and have generally been very unhappy with most of them. They generally suffered from one of more of the following:
Function buttons were small and hard to use:
Function buttons would accidentally activate, generally resulting in a reset of data:
Clips would break and unit would be lost or non-fixable:
Multi-function units required fussing around with small print manuals written in poor english to figure out how to use them:
Step counts were tied to specific uses (no aggregate functionality) so that if you wanted to measure a hike or a walk, that would be the end of it. You would need to keep a record of what step count you had prior to the walk, then add the walk, then add what step count you had after the walk for a daily total.
Ok, so much for all of the negatives that I have run across over the years. I never found a unit that could solve all of the above issues until now! This unit addresses each and every one of the items that I mentioned above and does so in an easy to use and understand way. It can measure individual events (such as walks or hikes) and still keep a seperate total for steps taken during the entire day! What is more, it recognizes when the new day starts (midnight) and will then restart the daily step total count for you!!
The display on this unit remains blank until you want to either start a sequence or want to see the display. This is great! To start an event, you actually have to hold the start button down for two seconds!! No more accidental starts or stops! There are only three button on the entire unit, so no more of the which one of the 9 buttons do you push routine! There is a Start Button, a mode button and a memory button (it remembers the last 7 events that you have completed).
The initial setup performs an automatic calculation of your stride based upon your height. This is a very quick feature, but it is not necessarily accurate since two people of the exact same height can have different inseam lengths, thus different stride lengths. Still, it is a good general starting point. The unit does allow you to enter in your actual stride and also provides for using a measured distance to accurately calculate your average stride length. This is an important feature as very few people have a consistent stride length. The average over a measured distance is generally the most accurate method available.
The calorie counting function of this unit is no better or worse than any other piece of equipment out there. It should only be used as a general indicator of how much you have done in relationship to other activities you have measured with the device.
Distance measurements have been fairly accurate (after setting the stride length using the measured distance function). Things that will cause variances effect all such devices such as stairs, steep hills, how energetic you are walking (strolling and talking versus wanting to get home quickly to use a restroom). However, the unit remains accurate in the average, which is about all you can ask from a mechanical device.
I find the pace function combined with the distance to be a useful tool as it helps me to see how much I am varying in my walks depending upon the terrain (numbers of stop lights and such or on a trail)and also how much I am concentrating on walking.
The total number of steps counter is a very good tool for ensuring that you are actually getting in your 10,000 step daily goal! It is amazing sometimes how much we think we are walking as opposed to what we are actually doing!
The unit attaches to your cloths with a spring loaded clip (no more plastic to break off) and has a security strap that also clips to your clothing. The security strap allows you to slip the unit off of the clip and hold it away from your body so that you can read it while you are walking without worrying about dropping it! it also performs the function of encouraging you to put it back into the holder to ensure that it keeps on measuring your workout accurately.
I would highly recommend this unit if you want a general purpose pedometer that has some nice features (memory, daily total step count, pace, etc.) without requiring you to read a manual and spend a lot of time getting used to using the unit.
One last comment, the manufacture does state that the battery shipped in the unit is a trial battery, so do not expect it to last for the 6 months of continuous use that the manual says a new battery should last for.
