Works well, and quality seems good so far

There’s a plethora of fancy-schmacy sleep and fitness trackers to choose from these days, but sometimes all you really need is a basic pedometer. People with real health challenges, like myself, don’t need a device on their wrist to tell them they don’t sleep well or tell them how many flights of stairs they can’t climb. With the mobility limitations of my Parkinson’s and Degenerative Disc Disease, all I really need is a tangible way to know how much I’ve moving each day, so I can improve a little each day. The Omron HJ-320 Tri-Axis Pedometer fits the bill quite nicely. Wish I’d bought one sooner! It’s pretty simple to set up, with one important caveat. Make sure you synchronize the time correctly to AM or PM on set-up, otherwise your steps and distance reading will rollover at NOON instead of MIDNIGHT and throw your daily tallies off. Use the instructions to measure your own personal stride for accuracy as well. I have a short stride, which means it takes me quite a few more steps to reach a mile than other people. No wonder it felt like I was working harder! All in all, I’ve found the OMRON brand to be a worthy go-to for health meters, always dependable, user friendly, and just the best all-around value. I can whole-heartedly recommend the HJ-320 Tri-Axis Pedometer, if you don’t need all the bells and whistles of a higher end fitness tracker.

This was a good, accurate product, but within a couple of months, it would not let me reset the distance walked which rendered it pretty much useless. However, this company allowed me to return the device unlike the company I first brought the same product from over on Ebay. This was my final attempt to locate an Omron device that worked for more than a couple of months. Sadly, every device I bought had the same problem, however, this company was the only one to allow me to return the device (although I don’t think I’ve heard back from them yet).

If you look at my reviews, I rarely give things five stars. I’m usually at a 4 because I research stuff before I buy it so I generally like what I get, but there’s usually something wrong with the item that could be improved. It’s really about a 4.5 or 4.8 review with the only major complaint I have being that the screen was already getting light scratching after one day of use being safely in a men’s shirt pocket. Also, the edges on the front collect dirt easily in the crevices, but it’s not too hard to clean so that’s minor.
I lost my old fitness tracker and wanted something cheap, that had good battery life, measured my steps accurately, and since I got spoiled I wanted something I could have in a pocket instead of needing to put it on my belt for accuracy. This device met all of those criteria with flying colors. You’ll want to keep the instructions since the setup isn’t intuitive, but since you rarely have to change the battery it’s not too big a deal; estimates of 9-12 months battery life are what I’ve seen, but I haven’t had it long enough to attest to that. It takes a 2032 battery and you’ll either need the screw driver that comes with it or a glasses one like you get at a dollar store to change the battery.
After tweaking my stride setting a bit I was able to test it repeatedly with 300 steps and got results that were either exactly right or within 1% of the real value. It also has a neat feature that doesn’t count steps until you’ve taken multiple ones in a row so it’s not counting up, at least more than a tiny bit, when I’m riding in the car. That’s a big plus I didn’t even realize I wanted. It’s so light weight I forget it’s even in my pocket.

I added a screen protector for a PSP that I cut down to size so that’s solved the screen scratching problem.

Bought this for my wife. It counts daily strides and distance walked, nothing else. It can’t be turned on or off, though the display blanks after a bit to save on the battery. Each day, so long as you wear it, it accumulates your strides. You can look at your totals at any time.
At midnight it resets everything to zero and saves your totals. The most recent seven days’ totals are always available and can be scrolled though. Older days are lost. So basically after the first setting you do nothing; you either wear the unit or you don’t.
Initial setup is pretty easy — measurement units, stride length, and current time. The unit comes with a slide on clip, which my wife uses to hold it to the waist of her pants, or you can leave the clip off and put the unit in a pocket. There is also a small screwdriver to change the battery when necessary. It’s a *very* small screwdriver, so keep it somewhere safe and remember where you put it! The unit itself is small and thin and almost weightless, but the display is big enough to read. It doesn’t much care about orientation since it has a 3-axis accelerometer, which is nice.
So, strides and distance walked. Nothing else. It won’t tell you how many calories you’ve burned or your weight on Jupiter, and it won’t connect with your computer. But if it meets your needs in a pedometer, it’s simple, well-designed, and cheap.

I bought this to use with a weight loss app and it was important for me to do a set amount of steps a day. This is so a curate as you have to first measure your stride and enter it in to the pedometer. It also tells you how many miles or kilometers you have walked and a clock. So easy to use. I wear it every day just clip it on to my belt trousers or even on to my bra and it never falls off.

I owned this same pedometer for almost 3 years (2 battery replacements) before I lost it. I even sent it through the washing machine and it still worked after it dried out. I was so happy to find the same pedometer again that I bought 2, one for me and one as a gift. It works just as well as the last and I’m hoping I won’t lose this one and it’ll last even longer than the first one.
I find it accurate. I’ve had many that would count every pothole I hit while driving but this one only counts my steps. I love being able to review the previous 7 days. The clock on it stays pretty accurate too.

Great pedometer for the price – very easy to set up , small fits easily in pocket -seems accurate when checked on walking track once you get your stride right – if you just want to keep track of distance and don’t want to be bothered hooking up to apps and Internet this one is for you

If you want to track your steps and calories, and upload the data to computer for comparison, purchase one of the more expensive devices that permit such record-keeping. If you only desire to keep an accurate count of steps taken and miles incurred per day, and get a sense of how much walking you are doing on a regular basis, his inexpensive pedometer works fine and takes up minimal room in your pocket. You won’t be devastated if you lose it and have to buy another one. (I purchased a cord separately on Amazon for under $2 including shipping.) Set up is easy once you have measured the length of your stride in inches(be realistic when counting off the ten steps). The HJ-320 keeps records for the current and the seven previous days. (It resets to zero at midnight local time.) You can’t upload the data and there is no record of calories consumed or sleep time, just steps, distance in miles, and time of day. After researching the more expensive devices I decided to try the HJ-320 first for a couple of months to see whether I was really into record-keeping (as I am with my bike rides). I will likely just stick with the HJ-320 and depend on it to encourage me to walk more during my workday.
Update:
After 5 years and many miles my HJ-320 died. I quickly purchased another one. Although the price had increased this pedometer still seems to be a very good choice if you want to count distance as well as steps. If you want a lanyard as I do it must be purchased separately, a minor extra cost
