As noted by many others, out of the box, this pedometer is easy to set up and works well. It is accurate. I rated this only 1-star, because it stopped working after only 7 months of use. AND, because the 1 year warranty is not what it seems, due to hidden costs to use the warranty if the pedometer breaks.
Omron warrants the pedometer for 1 year, and will repair or replace it if it breaks within the warranty period. Seems fair.
BUT…, it costs about $5 to ship a broken pedometer back to Omron.
Omron charges $8 for return shipping after it repairs/replaces the pedometer.
It is cheaper to buy another one for $15. Good item for as long as it works…which was not long enough in my case.

Design is very comfortable to wear on the hip. No clicking sound is a nice feature. I like that it has a clock on it and it automatically resets to zero after midnight. No more having to remember to reset the counter. The 6-days before memory feature is great for those who are in step competitions or tracking for programs because you don’t have to remember to write the number down/record it every day, since the pedometer stores a week’s worth of numbers. Drawbacks: the sensor must be aligned properly to count steps. It does not count incidental steps – you must be walking for more than 4 seconds for it to begin counting. So in reality you are probably taking way more steps than this records, and this is not a good pedometer for those interested in counting steps they take around the house/going about daily business. It will not accurately capture all of those. The benefit is that you will end up taking more than 10,000 steps to make the pedometer read 10,000. I’m very happy with it for the price however.

This pedometer is great! I clip it under the waistband of my slacks or jeans, and it keeps track. I have tested it to see how many steps I took versus how many accounted and it’s a pretty much dead on match. I don’t need a stride measure because my stride depends on where I am and what I’m doing. If I’m outside walking, my stride is a different length and if I’m pushing a grocery cart. So really all I need and what it gives me exactly is how many steps I’ve taken for the day. It’s got a seven day memory. That’s just rolling and that’s also great. It doesn’t connect to the Internet. There is no app. It’s just a step counter.

Unfortunately, Omron has discontinued this model – – a real shame because it was used by the majority of my walking group, comprised of all ages – so a review really isn’t worth much now. If you can find one, this pedometer is worth the search (although some sellers are asking $30 for it now – too steep). Easy to set up and the display is big. Comfortable to wear at hip level, and the numbers are accurate. The battery case is not the most accessible, but the battery lasted for quite a while before it needed to be replaced after daily use. It worked well and did not need improvment. It was quite durable, which is probably why Omron revamped it to a cheaper, less sustainable version.

Keeps your step count for seven days. The setup is not too annoying. It’s bigger and more clunky than many other fitness trackers (Fitbit, for example). But it’s PRIVATE. No beaming your step count and lord knows what else to your computer, iPhone, and thence to some cloud entity. And it’s reliable. They last forever. I’m not sure they even make them any more. I’ve never had one die on me. I had to replace my last one because somehow, despite having it on a little leash (highly recommended), I must have accidentally slid the clip away from the main unit. Went back and looked on the trail I walked, but no joy. So now I’ve got this new one, and it works, so far.
One problem was that the pedometer came with a dead battery, making me think the unit was defective. But I had on hand a 2032 battery and it ran fine.
Here’s an update: after I started carrying my smart phone around with me, I wondered why my phone always seemed to indicate more steps than the Omron. Then I read this in another review: Drawbacks: the sensor must be aligned properly to count steps. It does not count incidental steps – you must be walking for more than 4 seconds for it to begin counting.
So, the day I do major prep for my housekeepers, I pause to look at my Omron at about 2:00 in the afternoon and it invariably indicates less than a thousand steps. It does not count all your steps. It acts as if rushing around the house doing housework, moving furniture, mopping, picking stuff up and putting it away, these are just what somebody called “junk steps.” But it seems to me they are still exercise. I do not know if this is an engineering problem with the device or some way to get people to think housework isn’t work, but it’s annoying. I generally get about 1500 more steps on my cell phone than I do on the Omron. Sometime the difference is even higher.
I do like the privacy of the Omron. I am not constantly encouraged to share my details with my PCP, not that he would use it for anything useful, just another invasion of my life. But I’d love to have more accurate counts.
Also, the price constantly rises.

The best stepper there is easy to understand, gives time, days and steps that is all I need.
I wish they sold them in Canada.
Thanks
