   Finally, a pedometer that’s accurate, tracks useful information, has a holder with a strong clip, a lanyard if you prefer to hang it on your neck, is well designed and seems well built. I’ve dropped it on the street and it just kept going. Add to that, it’s very reasonably priced.

   The best part is the customer service. The owner has sent three emails offering helpful hints and tips and even provided a personal cell phone number if needed. The owner’s emails almost begged me to call if I needed any help with setup or any questions for that matter. It’s like the customer service is from another planet! I asked one question in an email before using the device. The response came back in about an hour with five paragraphs of explanation, offering more than one option to accomplish what I wanted to do. Not even Apple does that.

   Several reviews have mentioned the difficulty with setup. I found the instructions to be clear with both text and pictures, concise but comprehensive, large type font and well illustrated in color. This is an electronic device with lots of features and if you want to set it up to take advantage of all of them, you need to be able to follow and execute 9 steps. I’m trying not to overstate this but, to me, these instructions are very clear and easy to follow.

   The only difficulty I had in setup was the quick timeout on each setup step. For example, when you’re entering your stride length, if you don’t do it quickly, it times out in just a few seconds. The first time through, I thought about some of the prompts too long and got timed out. The second time through, I wrote all the answers down and entered them quickly. Doing so got it setup on the second try. In one of the helpful emails, the owner warns you to act quickly to avoid timeouts. Other than that I found setup to be straightforward and logical.

   A note of caution: if you’re using the holder/clip to attach the device to you pocket or belt or whatever, be aware that the buttons are located right about where you put your thumb or forefinger to release the clip. Thus, it wouldn’t be too hard to inadvertently press a button when removing the device from your pocket, belt, etc. However, it’s not a big problem. Unless you press and then hold the button for a few seconds, no harm is done.

   This is the third pedometer I’ve tried, one of which was a pricey Fitness Band (which was not at all accurate whenever I was sweating). This is the best of the three. I’ve only used it for a week, so if something changes, I’ll update this review.

   I read the negative reviews of the pedometers at this price range and selected this OneTweak. It arrived in good shape a few days earlier than promised. One common negative comment about these pedometers is inaccurate counting of steps – the OneTweak did not have comments about inaccuracy and that’s why I picked it. I have found that it is accurate.

   A negative comment about the OneTweak is difficulty with set up — I received the quickstart guide and had absolutely no trouble getting started. It took me about 5 minutes max. The quickstart guide has diagrams and simple instructions. Big bonus for me, with my 60-year-old eyes: I did not need reading glasses to see the instructions or read the numbers and markings on the device.

   The other common negative comment about the OneTweak is that the device clip is not secure. I have found that to be true. When I clip it on the front of my waistband, it pops off when I bend over. I have successfully clipped it on a belt loop which results in a big bulge under my shirt and on my bra which subjects it to sweat when I’m exercising. Overall, a great product, just needs a tighter clip. I want to give it a 4.8.

   Edit: So, what about the lanyard, you might be asking? Well, evidently Ms. Cat knocked it off the counter and her partner in crime, Mr. Dog, chewed off the plastic and metal, leaving me with just the strap. That Darn Cat.

   Great pedometer. Accurate and not expensive.
   I have been using the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer for about 8-10 years and have been very happy with it. The downside is the cost and the visibility after a few months of use (it picks up lint from the pocket after using less than a year). The cost is my first problem with the Omron. $75 for a pedometer is more than ridiculous especially since it has no special features when compared with similar pedometers. I have gone through 3 of these expensive babies in the last 10 years and they work, but nothing special. It was time for a change. I did a search and came up with One Tweak. The cost is minimal and quite reasonable. I bought one on the chance that my choice would be rewarded with a good product at a reasonable price. YES! It is a good product and at a very reasonable price ($20).
   I loved the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer but had to replace it about every 3 years because the readout became unreadable. So far the One Tweak is every bit as good and accurate as the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer and the replacement cost is negligible. This review is based on my experiences, so far, with the One Tweak. The customer service, though I did not need to use it, provides the customer with a cell phone number direct to the seller. Can’t get much better than that! 5 stars+. I recommend it based on my experience at this time.
   I am writing an update to say again how much I love this pedometer! Due to bad knees and hips I don’t walk as much as I did when I was younger. Today I changed the battery for the first time. I had kept the instructions written for me by the seller of this marvelous device. It was a snap to change the battery (I have a nice set of small screwdrivers) and her instructions were very easy to follow. Within about 4 minutes total I had changed the battery and reset all of the parameters. Such a wonderful pedometer! I have paid, more than once, for other pedometers that were top rated and also top expensive. This one is a keeper! Thank you so much for offering such a usable and re-usable tool. I keep it in the back of my mind when it comes time to buy presents for friends.
