 Keep Track to Succeed!Jan 23, 2008
By Shelly
This is pedometer is Consumer Reports #1 rated digital pedometer- and I can see why. It's extremely light weight and really easy to use with just four big buttons on the front. Here's a few of its best features:
-it can accurately senses steps in your belt, pocket, OR purse!
-it has a large display for the visually impaired
-it has a 7 day history so you can see progress (or lack of)
-it calculates calories and distance in addition to steps
I'd recommend this little device to anyone who wants to lose weight- just begin one day, and the next day, see if you can maintain or beat your previous step record. Now how easy is that?
So what DIDN'T I like about it? Not much. Perhaps the ONLY sort of negative thing I can say is that you will need a tiny screwdriver to open the back of it to put in the battery. Other than that, if you're looking to increase your activity a little to improve your health, look no further. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you have plantar fasciitis that interferes with your exercise.

Best of Breed: The Gold Standard Among PedometersSep 04, 2004
By Samuel Chell
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.
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, in addition to being fast, easy, convenient, and extremely durable. 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).
The only advanced feature I occasionally use is the memory bank. The device automatically resets to 0 steps while saving the previous day's count in memory (for up to a week). Although I set the clock, I rarely use the other extra features--calorie counter, aerobic read-out, or even distance covered. I don't even bother with things like entering stride length and attaching clips or necklaces. This particular Omron model rises above the field because of one thing: quality. It's accurate, it's easy and fast, and it's dependable if not indestructible (I've sat on it, inadvertently sent it through the wash, dropped it into a bath-tub). It keeps going, as long as you do. If you have a shirt pocket and know how to read from one to 10,000, you're on your way.
You can never have too many good pedometers, but this Omron makes it unlikely you'll need another one any time soon. There's no question in my mind that this is best of breed, the one that Tiger Woods would use even if he had to pay for it and realized no rewards other than the practical and motivational benefits of the device itself. At its current price, it's probably the best buy on Amazon.

Great gadget! Makes you mindful of your activity levels.Nov 14, 2006
By Smileypie
I bought this gadget with the intent of monitoring my daily steps to get an idea of where I was currently to establish some sort of baseline so that I could get a reality check on my activity levels. I opened the box, read the easy directions, set up my personal step measurement (just measure off the distance of your 10 steps), and clipped it on my pants and forgot about it for the day. I was surprised to find out that a corpse could probably move around more during the day than me! Over the next 6 days, (this pedometer keeps track of 7 days of steps for you); I literally stepped up my game and went from 756 steps with NO aerobic exercise on day 1, to 7,880 steps with 30 minutes of nonstop aerobic exercise on day 3! Every day has been getting easier to achieve the 10,000 "normal" steps, and increasing the aerobic steps too (which are tracked separately). I can press the mode button, check out how many miles my steps translate to, kilocalories burned, aerobic steps, and compare it with the past 7 days as well. It has turned out to be even more fun than what I originally bought it for. I actually feel better, and the fun part is that I am trying to beat my own personal record from the previous day! This has been an eye-opening experience for me, and I keep this on or in my pocket all the time now, just to make sure I keep a mindful eye on my steps and aerobic activity for the day!

Onrom Pedometer Perfect for Dog WalkersJan 15, 2005
By Darcy I. Williamson
"D. Williamson"
The Omron pedometer is perfect for those of us who walk our miles each day with our dogs. The pedometer is simple to program and completely accurate. All I do is slip the pedometer in my pant's pocket when I get dressed in the morning and the pedometer records my steps, distance walked, calories burned, aerobic minutes walked .... plus I can flash back through 7 days of data to see if I achieved my personal goals. I walk rurally, up and down a steep mountain, and there are no sidewalks. When a vehicle approaches I stop for a few seconds on the side of the road to let the vehicle pass, making sure my three dogs are sitting at my feet. Then of course, doggies being doggies, there are the short little doggie stops. The pedometer will keep on counting the aerobic minutes during the tiny little stops without starting back to having to walk ten minutes first. If you are a city walker, this means short stops for red lights, fire hydrants and bushes will keep your aerobic minutes ticking also.

The Best PedometerJun 26, 2007
By Bentley
This is the pedometer of choice for me. I have purchased multiple brands and have not been pleased with them. This pedometer is a winner simply by being able to be carried in a pocket or bag; it works and is accurate whether it is in your bag, your belt loop or in your pocket. I have tested this pedometer against others and I have found this to be very accurate. I love the fact that it can tell the difference between just regular steps and aerobic activity. It has a seven day memory and it tracks all of the vital stats for the day so that you can compare your week's activity. The safety clip is ideal and if you are walking the dog or get jostled in any way; you do not have to worry about losing your pedometer. This is a premium item; well made and fairly sturdy compared to others that I have seen and "owned".
I have not seen this work on a stationary bike as some folks were asking about in the forum. A good buy.
This is the same model just packaged differently. The three extra batteries may come in handy but I would most likely not get them all at once because each battery that comes with the pedometer is good for six months. That means you would have a couple of batteries (that you paid extra for) just hanging around. It is up to you but I always worry about shelf life of batteries, etc. You are going to get a battery anyways with your purchase and can always get additional batteries as you need them. I know, some folks like to have extras. But just thought that I would add that to this review in case some folks felt they might not be getting one in the first place.
UPDATE:
I swear that there is a timer inside these batteries because almost at six months to a day; they give out. I suspect that having the multiple batteries hanging around until you use them isn't the best choice either; they seem to have a shelf life. Love the pedometer though. I have been able to purchase new batteries that seem to work at Best Buy.
Note: This pedometer is a terrific pedometer; but this specific offering is no longer available here but is still available elsewhere on Amazon. I can assure you that this product was so good that I intend to upgrade and get the next evolution of this pedometer. I will warn you that the batteries only have lasted for 6 months almost on the money.
You can get battery replacements at Best Buy; in fact if you have misplaced the little gadget that comes with the pedometer to get the screws out in the back; the Geek Squad will get their tiny phillips out and get the back off: you can use the Energizer 2025 (two to a package and then you have a spare) and then your pedometer is back in business. $5.99 for two spare batteries without missing any steps.
