Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer

Editorial Review:

The OMRON HJ112 Premium Pedometer is a fun and useful way to quantify all that great "burn" you're feeling. Great for use while jogging! 1 mfg. year warranty

The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger.

The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Pedometer, battery (CR2032), screwdriver, strap, clip for strap, holder, and instructional manual.

It would be perfect if it were waterproof:

This is everything I want it to be. The problem is really user related. It is great that it works inside the pocket but it is so easy to forget to take the pedometer out of your pocket before we put our pants in the laundry. It sometimes takes a few washings without a problem but eventually, they fail. What does it mean when you put a battery inside a hot dryer? Nothing has happened so far but I wonder about it. I have replaced four pedometers so far. Otherwise, it's a great incentive and reliable so I... more info

Best One Out There:

My husband is a board certified Family Practice Physician. I manage his medical practice. We offer medically supervised weight loss programs through our office and every one that goes through the program gets the Omron HJ-112! Dr. Armistead personally used this prior to us starting our weight loss programs and did so after MUCH research as always on all the pedometers out there!! Highly recommended in my & Dr. Armistead's opinion!!

Reliable product:

This is my second Omron Pedometer bought in 2008. I have not only used it myself but have liked it enough to gift it to a friend, and have recommended it to others.
Simple, straightforward to use, reliable and consistent.
The only drawback is for people like me who like to walk and run. Because the calculation of the distance is based on number of steps, if the step is any shorter or longer, it does not really compensate for that. Once you've setup step length - thats the basis of calculation.more info

Better then others:

This is my third pedometer purchased. The others were too sensitive to position and either didn't measure steps or counted them twice. The 112 is intuitive to use and appears to be quite accurate. It is far superior to other brands I have owned
