Omron HJ325 Alvita Ultimate Pedometer, Blue

I've made use of the HJ- Model 112 has been around for a long time. I liked how accurate and simple it was to use, but I wasn't sold on the 6-hour timer. I didn't like the dorky, clunky look of wearing it on my hip for a month's worth of battery life, and I didn't like the dorky, clunky look of it. I bought this updated model after losing my previous one, and I've been using it for about a week. So far, I'm very pleased with it, and I think it's a slight improvement. br>br>First and foremost, the precision appears to be similar. I have a good idea of how many steps should appear on the pedometer after years of daily walks. For example, on level terrain, I estimate that it will take about 100-150 minutes. At a rate of 110 steps per minute, This pedometer produces results that are consistent with that. The step count doesn't appear to be grossly inaccurate at the end of a typical day of activity. In short, I have faith in it because it is nearly as accurate as its predecessor. br>br>Now I'll take a turn for the worse - After a few minutes, the display turns off, presumably to save battery life. The device does not shut down, and steps continue to be recorded. The display is activated by pressing a button on the front of the device. It's obviously a tradeoff, but it's one I'm willing to make if it significantly extends battery life. br>br>Now for the best part - the enhancements Despite the fact that it is less distinctive than the shield- resembling the HJ- The new model, 112, is slightly thinner and less obtrusive, and it comes with a small rubber case that can be clipped anywhere. This model, thankfully, comes with a strap that can be threaded through your belt hoop to keep it secure. The new model's more symmetrical shape has the added benefit of being able to be turned upside down so that it reads "correctly" when tilted up to look at it. Using the HJ- In order to look at it, I had to unclip it and turn it around. The convenience of not having to press a button to look at the display is offset by the time savings. In fact, I'm teaching myself to press the button while leaning in close. In conclusion: br>br> Just as accurate, a tad less clunky and dorky, and a tad more user-friendly. br>br>12/6/15 - Update I had to replace the battery today because it had died - The first battery lasted for over a year and a half. I had plenty of time to get a new battery after the low battery signal started flashing a few weeks ago.

It may not be for you if you prefer "bells and whistles. " However, for me, it works. My old Omron pedometer (HJ-1) was one of my favorite gadgets. 720ITFFP 720ITFFP 720ITFFP 720ITFF However, after three years of continuous use, it was time to send it to pedometer heaven. After that, I purchased this model. Here's what I found out:br>br>(1) This pedometer is accurate. (2) It is extremely light, which may give it a "cheaper" feel to some. br>(3) The pedometer's belt/pocket clip is not directly attached to the device's back. It's attached to a rubber cover that you place your pedometer in (as seen in my photos). )br>(4) It has a battery-saving feature (which is great), but if you want to check how many steps you've taken in the middle of your walk, you'll have to pull the pedometer out of your pocket and press the "home" button, which brings up the display. This is something I didn't have to do with my previous Omron pedometer, but it's not a big deal. br>br>When I first opened the box, I thought to myself, "Wow, this is really light and possibly cheap. " " But then I went for a walk, and it turned out to be correct. No unpleasant surprises awaited us. This pedometer worked well for me because it accurately counts steps. Omron is a reputable organization. If you're looking for something with more "bells and whistles" (i. e. This isn't for you if you're looking for a job in software development. This will suffice if you're looking for a basic, functional pedometer.

Unfortunately, like other pedometers I've tried, this one won't record my rehabilitating SO's stumbling steps. Before it can start counting, it needs a certain number of strong steps, which he doesn't have.

It also only counts steps if they are taken at a specific time. This pedometer only counts steps after the first four, so it doesn't track total activity like my previous pedometers did; I used to average between 5,000 and 7,000 steps per day with my old pedometers, but I'm only getting two to three thousand with the Omron. It was a huge letdown. Furthermore, it only counts steps if they are taken at a constant pace, as opposed to normal indoor activity, which involves many starts and stops. I like how it remembers the previous day's numbers and then resets itself at midnight. It would be ideal for runners or walkers, but not for pedestrians like me who are simply trying to track total activity in order to maintain fitness as we age.

This one is far superior and costs less; according to reviews, some of the others were difficult to set up. It was extremely simple to complete. It has a clock, which I like because I don't always have my watch or phone with me. It displays the number of miles, which I like. A rubberized case and a strong clip are included. It is small enough to be carried in a pocket. It, like the others I looked into, might not be able to count or count accurately some of the very small steps or movements taken. Steps, on the other hand, are only a small part of the picture. I appreciate the fact that the battery door can be opened with a switch. I used to have an older model with a small screw that was a pain to remove. I believe the screw has gone missing.
