| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | The OMRON HJ112 Premium Pedometer is a fun and useful way to quantify all that great "burn" you're feeling. Great for use while jogging! 1 year warranty | | | The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.
A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger. |
The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled. The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand. The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Q&A - Pedometers
Does it matter where the pedometer is placed or attached?
The HJ-150 and 151 Pedometer must be positioned correctly. Attach the unit to your belt or to the top of your waistband. The unit must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function correctly. The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer can also be placed in your pocket or purse.
What's the accuracy rate of Omron pedometers?
The precision of the step counting is within +/- 5%.
What are moderate steps?
At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended each day. The HJ-151 Pedometer separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace.
What are aerobic steps?
The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer separately displays aerobic steps and minutes that start counting after 10 minutes of continuous walking with more than 60 steps a minute.
How does the PC software work?
The HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer includes PC software for Windows 2000 or XP. It keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.

| | I am very happy with my new pedometer! So easy to set up and fairly accurate in step counting. I also like that it tells you calories and mileage. I haven't used it for my gym workouts but I'm sure it will work well for that too.
| | Great product despite a few minor issues | |
| | After reading reviews of many different brands of pedometers, I decided to purchase this one: not only was it rated highly here, but also it got rave reviews from many users on the exercise web site I frequent. I've never owned a pedometer before (well, other than the freebie from the McDonald's promotion several years ago); although I exercise daily, I'm pretty sedentary otherwise, and so I was hoping that wearing a pedometer would encourage me to move more throughout the day.
Now that I have owned this pedometer for several weeks, I can report that I am happy with it overall. It has become like an extra appendage--it goes with me everywhere, and most of the time, I barely notice it. I was dismayed by my extremely low step totals during my first few days of use, but I've already started to make progress. Although I do like the pedometer, there are definitely some features that could be better, so I have provided a detailed breakdown below.
APPEARANCE: The pedometer is a sleek little thing about the size of a flattened egg. The edges are rounded, so I find it comfortable to hold in my pants pocket, although a bit smaller would certainly be nice. The main step display is large an easy to read; there is a smaller time display as well. I have never accidentally pushed the reset button, but I have accidentally pushed the mode button.
CLIPS: As other reviewers have mentioned, the main clip is definitely bulky and could've been better designed. However, I have never had any problems with it falling off when it is clipped to my waistband, and I don't find it to be uncomfortable. I also find that the smaller, safety clip is a bit bulky and awkwardly designed, and the way it is attached to the lanyard makes it stick way out (check out the photos that users have submitted). However, a BIG plus about this pedometer is that you have the option of using it in the clip--attached anywhere on your body--OR simply tucking it in your pocket or even a handbag. As far as I know, no other models offer that kind of flexibility.
SETUP: The initial setup of the unit is very basic. Once you put in the battery (included; there is even a little "screwdriver" tool for opening the battery case), you are automatically prompted to set the time (be sure to set the AM/PM correctly) and then your weight. Next, you need to consult the manual for instructions on setting your stride length--you simply need to take 10 steps at your normal pace and measure the distance that you travelled.
FEATURES: In addition to daily steps, this pedometer also keeps track of aerobic steps (steps taken after 10 minutes of continuous walking), calories (probably not accurate), and distance in miles. Each of these statistics is kept in memory for the previous seven days, a nice little feature to have when you are trying to keep track. Another feature which I really like is that the pedometer automatically resets to zero at midnight, so you never have to remember to reset it yourself. (For those of you night owls, you can still keep stepping after midnight--your steps will just go towards the next day's totals.)
ACCURACY: I have found that when walking at a steady pace, this pedometer is extremely accurate, regardless of whether I have it clipped to my waist, in my pocket, or wherever. However, there are some situations in which the Omron HJ-112 undercounts or even fails to count steps as all. The manual notes that "The unit may not be able to count the steps correctly in the following cases: 1) When you walk at an inconsistent pace, 2) When you shuffle or wear sandals, and 3) When you fail to walk consistently in a crowded place." Furthermore, it also notes that the pedometer will not begin counting until you have been walking for FOUR seconds. So, what does this mean in actual practice? For me, it means that when I am doing things where I am moving back-and-forth with frequent starts-and-stops such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, etc., the pedometer frequently does not advance AT ALL during this time. I have come to accept this as a minor glitch; it simply motivates me to move more. Others, however, might view this as a more serious flaw.
So, for me this pedometer was a great purchase. I'm convinced that despite its glitches, its accuracy is still well above average, and I don't think you will be able to find the convenience of being able to carry it in your pocket/purse in any other brand available. Definitely recommended but with some reservations as outlined above.
| | | This pedometer is a favorite of mine. Easy to read, easy to use. It was sent to me in a timely manner. Thank you for your fine service.
| | | I received product in great time!! Very happy with how the pedometer works and its features...really like the memory keeping track of my last 7 days.
| | | Well, I ordered this item as a throw in with the heart monitor. It's been over 30 days since I ordered it and finally remembered to bring it with me to work so I can count my steps. No where is there a battery in this thing even though the package clearly states there should be one. Called Omron and got a sorry we don't have those batteries to ship out so you can send it to us for repair along with $5 and you pay for shipping as well. Called Amazon and they at least credited me $4 (10% of my order amount)towards a battery. After 30 days there is no full refund or exchange. So, this may be a nice pedometer but the company who makes it sure doesn't have good service, so I recommend you open your package asap to make sure everything is included.
