 best so far May 2, 2004

I have tried a variety of pedometers - in terms of features and design and price this is easily the best - I particularly like the aerobic minutes feature and the belt clip design - I went thru several other pedometers where the clip broke after a few months - this one is a spring clip that seems more reliable. It has seven day memory for all values, calorie counter, sensitivity setting - more features for less money. I have used it for a couple months so far and have no complaints.

The Omron HJ-105 Pedometer is Slim, Sleek, Sturdy, and Silent. It is slender, fitting smoothly against your body. It can be worn almost unnoticeably under your outer clothing. This pedometer is nearly silent; much quieter than the other two pedometers I own. It probably has a noise dampener in it. The belt hinge and face swivel is studier than other pedometers. My Sportline broke within the first week.
Excellent, inexpensive pedometer October 19, 2005

After having three $20 Sportline pedometers break on me (in various ways) in less than two weeks each, I found the Omron in a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy (for more than Amazon charges). After a month, I'm delighted with it. For one thing, it hasn't broken. It measures steps, aerobic steps, distance traveled, and calories burned. There's a + and - adjustment that lets you fine-tune the sensitivity. It resets itself to zero at midnight, and keeps a 7-day memory of all your data. I consider it well worth the money.

The Omron HJ-105 Pedometer is a marvel of modern technology. Once properly set and calibrated, it will give you accurate readings for your steps, aerobic steps, calories and miles on a daily basis with a seven-day memory. It is easy to set, simple to read and not encumbered by unnecessary features. True, this is a basic model, but I certainly don't mind paying a small sum for an instrument devoid of frills but which does the job. I simply do not need the pedometer to "talk" to me for an additional 20 or 30 bucks. If you're looking for an honest, well-made and designed pedometer, this one may be just right for you.

It is so rare to find consumer electronics where the manufacturer takes pains with every little detail, that I was pleasantly surprised by this pedometer. At the price, it is a minor work of genius.
First off, the thing actually works, which right away puts it in the top 10% of pedometers. The casing is lightweight and attractive, with a secure clip.
You must take a few minutes to set it up, but the task is much simplified by a well-written, thorough, and easy-to-follow owner's manual.
First, you set the clock. The only thing the clock really does is to reset the device at midnight every day.
Second, you set your weight. This enables it to calculate calorie expenditures.
Third, you set your "stride length", which enables it to calculate distance traveled from the number of steps.
Finally, you clip it on, take 100 or 200 steps, and then check it for accuracy. If the number of steps recorded is not the same as the steps taken, there is a sensitivity setting you can adjust.
There are four screens you can view in succession by pressing a button: Total steps taken, total mileage walked, total "aerobic" mileage walked and the time it took, and total calories expended by walking for the day. I haven't taken pains to assess its accuracy, other than the steps counted, because I don't really care if it records 2 miles when I've walked 2.03. It is certainly close enough to precise measurement for my taste.
The aeorbic steps feature is nice -- you can wear it all day, and if you take an "exercise walk" you don't have to reset it.
I'm delighted with my purchase.
