Product Description
The Omron pedometer uses revolutionary acceleration technology to track your daily activity, recording steps, distance, time and calories burnt whilst walking or jogging. After 10 minutes of walking at a consistent pace the aerobic mode is activated which counts the number of 'aerobic steps' executed which are then stored separately in the memory.

 All it seems? October 4, 2008
I'm not sure about the Omron as I walk a lot in my job. One day I took note of the reading on my gadget and actually counted the next 500 steps I did. The reading had gone up by 708 steps!! I've done it a couple more times too and it's done the same. How does that happen?
So I don't think it's quite as accurate as the manufacturers say, unless I've got a faulty one. So my advice is, don't rely too heavily on the Omron reading, it may just be telling you lies!

I have an Omron pedometer while my wife has another brand. I have to say that pedometers are probably one of the best (and most fun) ways to stay in shape and lose weight. Set up is easy, and once you're done with that, there's nothing left to do but to do it!
So how much should you walk? The most common recommendation is 10,000 steps a day- which is equivalent to about 5 miles. They get the 10,000 number from studies showing that adults who get this much exercise a day are healthy.
However know too that some research is beginning to show that some populations might need more, or can get by with less. For instance children may need more steps than this and some older adults may not be able to sustain 10,000 steps/day (one study found that a sample of HEALTHY older adults involved in weekly exercise programs reached an average of about 6,500 steps- suggesting that older adults may be able to get by with just 6,000 steps a day or so).
So what if you just want to lose weight? Well, I suggest starting out by first seeing how many steps you get on an average day at your current weight. Then, try to add steps each day, working up to 10,000 over time.
See where your weight is at when you reach the 10,000 step level, and if you still need to lose more, try to add another 2,000 steps a day. Keep in mind that each 2,000-2,500 steps is about a mile, or 100 calories for a 150-pound person.
So if you're looking to drop a few pounds, or simply get fitter, try a pedometer! Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for anyone who needs more motivation to stick with an exercise program.
Excellent in every respect. September 20, 2008

This is my first step-counter, and I've no regrets whatsoever about buying it.
It's easy to set up and use, with a sturdy clip, a safety strap to stop it accidentally falling off your belt, a clear display and well-designed controls.
It does only give the distance on km, so you need to do a quick bit of mental arithmetic if you want to know how far you've walked in miles, but that's no big hassle!
At first, I wasn't sure about the fact that it resets at midnight rather than having a separate function which would be handy if you go for a couple of walks each day and want separate information about each, but all you need to do is reset the whole unit and it then only takes a few moments to put in the time, your weight and stride length. Not perfect, but you CAN do it if you want!
I particularly like the fact that it gives strides for "normal" walking and aerobic walking - ideal if you want to set yourself daily targets.
Overall, I'd recommend this unit to anyone who's looking for a robust, easy to use step-counter.
The best pedometer I have tried! September 7, 2008

This is the best pedometer I have ever owned! It is incredibly accurate (even when walking up/down hill), I love the fact that I don't clock up steps whilst I am driving and it is so easy to wear. You can clip it on your belt, or stick it in your pocket and the effect is the same.
If you are a runner or use it for more vigorous walking then I have to say you do need to use the addition safety clip. Mine would have hit the ground a couple of times if it had not been for the additional clip.
The clock on the pedometer is extremely handy too! If I manage to loose or break this then I will without question replace it with another of these pedometers!
Good..it calculates miles not km!!!! August 23, 2008

It's a good pedometer.. I noticed it has km instead of miles. I thought it calculated km but I measured my walks using a map in miles and the pedometer gave me approx the same figure. So although it says km, it's actually in miles in my case.. I love it!!
