I love this pedometer! It shows the number of steps you’ve taken, how many of those were at “moderate” speed, how long you walked at the moderate speed, how many calories you’ve burned and the distance you’ve walked that day. It stores the information for 7 days. It’s lightweight, yet sturdy. It’s easy to read. At the time I purchased the Omron HJ-151, I read the Amazon reviews. Several people mentioned that the clip wasn’t strong enough and they lost their pedometer rather quickly. I ignored the warning because the clip seemed sturdy. I lost it the 3rd day I had it! That’s the only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. I was really unhappy. I love the pedometer so much that I ordered a replacement the same day I lost the first one. This time I spent $1.95 + shipping, to buy a strap that secures the pedometer better than the clip it comes with. You don’t need to “wear” the Omron HJ-151 attached to your waist. It works just as well sitting inside of your pocket. I use the strap for extra security. I highly recommend this product, but spend the extra $1.95 to get a strap to back up the clip.

I recently started a walking routine and wanted something other than my wrist watch to monitor myself. After trying two very cheap models and reading many reviews on amazon, I settled on the Omron HJ-151. I have not been disappointed. The display is large and easy to read. With those other “cheapo” models I tried, there was this complicated set-up procedure. The Omron was much simpler, just set the clock…That’s it. After that you don’t even think about it anymore. It even resets itself after midnight. I’ve used this many times on a measured course and it seems accurate. There are only two buttons. One is a simple history. You can go back seven days and review each day’s total steps. The second breaks down the daily stats (present day only)…daily total steps, Daily moderate steps, calories burned, and mileage. The current time is always visible. You cannot find something much simpler than this thing. One really nice feature is that the Omron does not seem to be fooled easy. In other words, it only counts steps and not just any kind of shaking. My old cheap pedometers would always give false readings. The Omron seems to know the difference between walking and shaking. The spring clip is strong and holds securely, but there were two times that I almost lost it after bending over. My gut pushed it off my belt. I guess I need to lose more weight 🙂 However I do recommend either buying the optional leash or making a leash of your own. The optional leash is a very secure design and can be clipped to almost anything. But you could make your own with something like a small wrist lanyard from an old flashlight, camera, or USB memory stick. I did this temporarily while my leash was on back order.
The instructions seem a tad confusing because they mention something about placing the pedometer in a “horizontal” position. This is a misprint and should have read “vertical” Which is the natural position it assumes when clipped to your waist. Don’t let this confuse you.
Now go buy one and start walking!!

This is a great pedometer. It is accurate in that it registers steps but it doesn’t register other kinds of bumps and movements. For example some pedometers will register steps when you are riding in a car and going over bumps, or sitting in a chair tapping your foot. This one knows the difference. Its a nice thing to wear every day. It lets you pretty easily adjust your activitiy level to get in 10 to 12 thosand steps each day. Though I don’t have much time for “exercise”, this lets me work in a level of activity every day that has made me feel much fitter and trimmer than I was before I started using it. Maybe I’d be better off if I could spend a half hour each day in the gym, but that is not going to happen and it would be boring anyway. Walking more is good on several levels. You get the exercise and you are out seeing things and people, whether your taking a thirty minute walk around the neigborhood, or just taking an extra lap around the supermarket and parking your car a little farther a way.

This is my 2nd one. Love how it keeps a record for the current day and the prior 7 days. Can check steps miles or calories.
Super comfortable. No square corners to irritate skin. No clicking as it records distance. This is the greatest pedometer ever! As long as i have this, i have no use for a fitbit.

Since I’m a golfing grandmother and since I’m interested in keeping myself as healthy as possible i use the Omron Aerobic Pedometer to help me “count my steps.” Many other pedometers have a metronome inside that moves every time YOU move thus elevating the number of steps actually taken. You can actually move them gently back and forth or side to side and the motion adds steps. What?? I learned this first hand after calling the manufacturer and they told me that this is the way their product was made and it did, in fact, exaggerate the number of steps actually taken. Well, I tossed those quickly. The Omron counts the “actual” steps taken, calculates how many calories you’ve burned, how many miles you’ve walked and it also has a regular style clock so if you check it when you start out and look at it when you finish you can tell how long it took you to go from point A to point B. the only negative is that I’ve lost one because it somehow came detached from my belt. Maybe the clamp style devise used to attach to the belt or pocket could be made so that it holds tighter. Most pedometers I’ve seen have the same type of clamp so it’s not just the Omron. The Omron is really the most accurate pedometer that Ive used (and I’ve used three other manufacturers) and it has large numbers so is easy to read. Now if they could fix the “clamp issue” it would be even better!!
