 Accurate, but clunky (& ineffective) clip August 23, 2010
DC
I found the pedometer relatively easy to set, despite less than brilliant instructions in minute font.
The pedoemeter seems fairly accurate, and the 'aerobic step' measurement is a really useful feature, tracking how many steps that are likely to be beneficial, as compared to those amassed in going to the kitchen to make tea etc. Another useful feature is that it doesn't count steps for the first four seconds, again so as not to add in single movements that arent really contributing to daily excercise.
My only real bugbear with the pedoemeter is the clip, which makes the whole thing twice as bulky, and is useless. It doesn't work at all if I try and wear the pedometer on the waistband of my trousers; I'd have lost/dropped it loads of times if it hadn't been for the safety cord. A friend of mine has a different make of pedometer, with no safety cord, and has had no problem with hers staying put.
I eventually solved the problem today by wearing it on my bra strap - its reasonably unobtrusive. One of the suggested wearing 'styles' is in in a shirt pocket, which I rarely have, and this seemed a close approximation, and seemed to still measure steps fairly accurately.
walking success! August 18, 2010

Having bought the pedometer 6 days ago, I must say I am more than impressed. I initally bought it just to see how many steps i was doing a day... realised that I am actually not walking very much at all (to recommended 10,000 steps a day) and so have actually increased the amount i walk just so that it goes over (and you feel great when you do!)
Functions are easy to manage, tells you how many steps, and then how many aerobic steps, which means how many steps you take after two minutes of walking at a pace of 60 steps or more in a minute, which I think is very clever.
It also tells you how many calories you have burnt and how far you have walked (although Im not convinced its accurate as its counts walking the same as running for calories burnt)... and it tells you all this data for the last 7 days. Which is useful if youre not a type to write it down every day, and just want to track your progress for comparison.
The belt clip it comes with is very neat and compact, however doesnt work so well with high-waisted trousers, i have found, but i just put it in my pocket instead, and go (more discrete). Also, when i go running, I clip the extra clip on the end of the rope to the side of my pocket in case it falls out for extra security.
After 6 days I have had not a single problem with it, and has found it has inspired me to walk more just to get the numbers ticking. Very useful for people who want to get fit.
Great wee pedometer August 6, 2010

I've been doing a lot more walking these days after a heart operation and wanted to find a pedometer that I could use to measure how far I'm walking etc.
Based on previous reviews, I bought this one and I'm not disappointed. Once you measure out the size of your steps, you enter this into the pedometer and then you're off and running! You can easily switch between calories, steps, distance etc, to see how far you have walked (I'm aiming for 10000 steps per day). It also gives you 7 days history if you want to track back.
I just clip it onto my trouser pocket each day and forget about it, its so simple to use and even has a wee clock on it, so I can use it as a watch too. Excellent piece of kit, well worth the good reviews
OhmiGod! I LOVE this...! July 10, 2010

I have just started using this in the past few days, but can already see what a difference this is going to make to my (previously dwindling) exercise regime! I used to be very trim, and a regular runner - but weight (and lethargy) has just crept up on me over the last year or so. I'm heading off on holiday in two weeks' time, and need to get half a stone off - and fast. My plan is to walk, run or cycle for at least an hour every single day before then, as well as cutting down on eating calorific rubbish (obviously). I've been out running, and also cycling, but need to get out there for a long walk each day. What this little gadget does is make very, very clear the direct relationship between effort and fitness/weight loss. This wee thing tells you not only how many steps you have completed (which my rickety old one used to do), but also the calories burned, how many of your steps were aerobic (and, believe me, you put more effort into making them aerobic when you know they're being counted!) - but (best of all) tells you how many grams of fat you've burned away! This is great, because it makes you think very hard before you eat some more of those goddamn grams. When you can see how hard you have to work to get rid of that big tablespoon of Haagen Dazs, or 'just a few' squares of Cadbury's...you really do think twice before scoffing it in the first place. A work of genius - and if even I can master the settings, then it has to be 'user friendly'! Will report back in a fortnight........
UPDATE (22.7.10) OK, it's nearly holiday time, and: I've been out walking every single day since I bought the Omron; I've lost 6lbs (yay!); I can walk 5 - 7 miles (quite fast!) no problem at all. Best of all, I feel much fitter, much trimmer, and also feel full of energy and good health. Counting the steps and the miles become quite addictive, and I am absolutely SURE that I would not have done all of this (or found it so much fun) if I didn't have the Omron to motivate me towards fitness. I can't recommend it highly enough - and I'm taking it on holiday with me (to try to walk off all the cocktails, rich dinners and chocolate mousses..!)
If you need something to help you get up, get your walking shoes on, and out of that front door for a walk - consider buying the Omron.
Excellent device July 5, 2010

This is an excellent product. It is very well made from quality materials and well put together. The packaging is excellent. The included instruction sheet provides good instructions and clear diagrams. It makes setting up the step counter very simple.
I have found that the step counter is very accurate when used as directed. I have determined this in two different ways. First of all by actually counting steps and comparing my count with the Omron, secondly by checking the number of steps it recorded over my "measured mile." I found it to be accurate to better than 0.5% both ways.
It is a wonderful motivational tool. Previously I went for long walks occasionally. Now I'm out walking every day. And I'm seeing the results. My own favourite walk is flat for the first 300m and then a long, gentle incline for 200m. I used to be puffing halfway up the incline. Now I'm getting to the top easily.
Used as recommended it's an accurate and very motivating tool.
(There have been a few reviews that state that it is inaccurate. I note that the name of the device is Walking Style II. It isn't Jogging Style II and it isn't Cycling Style II. I repeat that, when used as directed, it IS accurate.)
