gangofone's Full Review: Omron HJ112 Premium Pedometer
I originally bought this pedometer for a wellness session at work to keep track of steps. My first pedometer was smaller and would simply count steps. It did the basic task but would count "steps" while I drove to work.
This pedometer will only record steps after it counts about 4 to make sure that you are really moving. It will also count aerobic steps (if you move constantly for a certain number of minutes), calories burned (based on the weight you program in) and miles (based on the stride length you program in). One really nice feature is that it will remember the last seven days of steps and reset automatically at midnight. Before I bought this pedometer, I would have to write my daily step count in my planner each day. Now, I can just come in on Monday and recall my step counts from Friday through Sunday. Much easier. This unit is also silent. There's no mechanical clicking sound as you take a step. It seems to have less moving parts and so have less to break. Lastly, it will count steps as long as it isn't laid flat. This means that you can have it in your shorts pocket when you run and don't have to have it clipped to your waistband.
On the bad side, this unit is quite large for a pedometer. About the size of a pager but thinner. This combined with a belt clip that works on friction and doesn't have a positive latch, makes it prone to working its way off your belt. Mine has fallen off once on pavement but it didn't damage the unit at all. As mentioned earlier, while running, I prefer to put into my shorts pocket. While fairly large, it isn't heavy at all and so I barely notice it while running.
I would definitely recommend this pedometer to someone who needs memory and wants a reliable unit. The distance and calories are also a nice touch.
