OmronWalking Style IV Step Counter (HJ-325EW)

An accurate tiny, superlight Pedometer. Easy to use. No real instructions, on-line instructions for multiple similar models not always relevant. For me, main thing was to get the stride right. I'm over 6' tall, and initially kept the standard 32" stride it was set for. Got real and admitted my stride was actually about 27". My morning walk went from 2.1 miles to 1.9 miles, LOL! I deleted my basic health app on my iphone that was reporting my identical daily route with variances of more than a quarter mile for each identical walk. This so is small, un-noticeable in the pocket.

I bought this to replace another omron pedometer I had for many years that still worked. I gave it to my husband because he was going to start walking more and wanted a step counter. (Of course, that didn't last very long, which is why I got the new one). This one works just as well and is very accurate - much more accurate than my watch step counter which counts every movement of your arm. You can rack up some seriously high number of steps in a day by making the bed, folding laundry, or dusting knick knacks.Now that I'm in my seventies, I have been trying my best to walk a minimum of 5000 steps a day (of course more is better). And I have accomplished that for over 9 months. It's surprising how checking your pedometer and realizing you need just another 500 or even 1000 steps to reach your goal can make you jump up and get moving.

These are great devices for measuring walking activity. Love the aerobic steps feature and the accuracy of this device. Only gripe is OMRON used to include an item that clipped to clothing and held the pedometer. Not so anymore.

I bought this Omron Pedometer to replace a previous one that I have had for 14 years and just recently accidently forgot to remove from my pocket and ran it through the washing machine. While I was waiting for this new one to be delivered I took the battery out of the old one and let it sit on a shelf for a week and out of curiosity put a new battery in it after I thought it might have dried out. To my surprise the old one is working again. I decided not to send this new one back so that I can give it as a gift to someone.

I paid for a NEW Omron Pedometer. I have received a USED pedometer. It already had a weight of 154 pounds and a height of 5"5 as well as the stride inches. I am 117 lbs, 5'3 and have a smaller stride. I t also has steps logged in. I am trying to change the stats to my own but am having a difficult time. It keeps reverting back the 154 lbs. This matters as the calorie burn will not be correct. I have had many Omron pedometers and love them. This one however was a complete ripoff. I paid way more money than I have in the past and so far cannot even use it!! Beware when ordering from Amazon!!

Not what I expected

This walker tracker is the best! It tracks your steps and it has a snap that lets you attach it to your clothing. Love it!

Well, it's not supposed to be machine washable, but mine has been machine washed twice and has come back both times and working great! If you do this by accident, remove the battery from the unit and dry the inside compartment. The first time, more water got in so it took about 3 days of standing it upright on a drying mat with the battery out to dry, but only 1 day this time. I put the battery back in, reset the settings I made when it was new, but once done, it was like a Timex - took a lickin' and kept on tickin' (you whipper snappers won't get that part). I would recommend it for that alone cause as careful as I try to be, I know I will likely do this again, but the functions seem to work fine for me as well.
