Strengths: easy to program, accurate, small & light and easy to carry, works either clipped on to clothing or in a pocket or purse, digital read out is easy to read
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: This is a good value - it's easy to use and seems to be pretty accurate. I have tried other pedometers and had trouble getting my stride properly calibrated but this one was accurate the first time. I like the fact that it tracks steps taken, aerobic steps taken, distance walked, calories burned and that it stores the data for the past seven days. The only thing I don't like is that the unit does not record steps until you have been walking for at least four seconds. Since I always walk at a very fast pace, I often walk 10 or more steps within the first four seconds and if I only walk for a few seconds, those steps don't always get counted in the total. However, for most people who walk at a slower pace, I don't think this would be a problem.

Strengths: ease of use, nice appearance
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: This pedometer is very well designed and designed with a non-technical person in mind. It does everything you'd want without you having to do a thing. It keeps track of steps, aerobic steps, miles, and calories burned. It also has a clock in it so I don't have to carry my watch. And it has a memory where it stores the previous 7 days of data. I highly recommend this pedometer.

Strengths: Easy to set, multiple features include miles traveled, calories burned, steps taken, aerobic miles traveled, and time.
Weaknesses: I have not found any.
Summary: I have been using this product for the last two days. This is my first pedometer. I like the sleek design and the ease of operation. It's easy to carry on my person either in a pocket or clipped onto my waistband. The readout is fairly large which is another plus. I can switch modes with the push of a button to quickly check not only the miles traveled, but also the estimated calories burned and how much of the distance traveled would be considered to be aerobic exercise. The device resets itself during the night, so it is ready to go the following day. The time also appears on the LCD display. The product does what it says it will do. I consider it to be a good purchase.

Strengths: Ease of use, accuracy.
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: I have had several pedometers, but I feel for the money, this is by far the best and most accurate. I like the aarobic step aspect that this pedometer offers also.

Strengths: Good system you really have to work to get your steps in.
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: this is a very good pedometer. My other pedometers tend to count steps when you shuffle your feet or just remain stationary. This pedometer does not. You have to work for your step count. I believe that it gives you a honest count of your daily steps.

Strengths: Easy to program and to wear. Good memory features.The automatic changing to next day is great.
Weaknesses: None to date except for small print on the units of measurement words - i.e. steps, aerobic, miles, minutes. The numerical representations are bold and good.
Summary: Omron is a great name in many medical pieces of equipment so I did not hesitate to make this purchase. It is well designed, easy to wear,and lightweight.I have used many types of pedometers in my nutrition counseling presentations. This one I could recommend without hesitation and it is affordable.

Strengths: Love the 7 day recorded info for the ones that like to keep track. Also love the ability to not only just clip it to your jeans but can slip it in your pocket and is still accurate. Strap is nice too.
Weaknesses: None really, if any thing it is a bit larger than alot of the other brand pedometer on the market, but really doesn't make that much difference with the performance.
Summary: Simply love this product. Seems to be very accurate and is not really that hard to setup and start using. It seemed to me a bit pricey, but after trying it for a while, made it worth it to me. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good reliable pedometer.

Strengths: Ease of use. Ability to record steps, miles, and aerobic steps. (I don't care about the calories burned readout.)
Weaknesses: Concerned that the expected battery life is only 6 months. This seems like a short life for a rather large "button" battery. A smaller size pedometer would be even better.
Summary: This pedometer is not the cheapest but that is OK because It Works Great. A previous one I owned did not always record your steps. One nice feature is that you don't have to "zero out" the recordings to start recording fresh each morning, the thing automatically resets itself each day, and it stores the data for seven days. You can wear it several ways, my favorite is to drop it in a shirt pocket and clip it onto the edge of the pocket with a nifty safety strap. This is not as noticable as using the belt clip.

Strengths: Capability to check previous seven days. I like being able to check my previous day's steps any time plus it automatically resets to zero each day.
Weaknesses: The belt clip slips off easily. When ever I bend over the belt clips slips off and sometimes it just rides up on the leather belt. It should have a tighter grip.
Summary: I really like this pedometer. It's great checking the steps by total mileage or steps. I like also being able to view how many of the steps were at a faster rate than walking by looking at the "aerobic" mode step count. Be sure to use the clip that comes with this pedometer. I wish the pedometer clip had a tighter spring or a lip on the end to prevent it from coming off a waistband. Several times I've noticed that it slipped off my belt and I would have lost it if I had not also kept it clipped it to my pants. It also keeps accurate count just by being placed in my pocket so you can put it in a pocket instead of clipping it on a waistband. Even if I do lose it though, I would buy this same one!

Strengths: The only pedometer I know of that works accurately when kept in pocket
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I've tried several pedometers before. All of them had to be clipped onto the belt or an edge of clothing. Occasionally they would fall off or the clip would break from the constant pressure. With the Omron, the worry and nuisance is gone. I must put it into my pants or shirt pocket first thing in the morning and leave it there until I go to bed at night. I love that feature the most with the 7 day memory coming in a close second. It has totally changed my life and my new awareness of staying active everyday. My commitment to recording 10,000 steps or more a day has resulted in much improved health and weight.

Strengths: Gives the wearer a lot of information.
Weaknesses: Instructions for attaching the clip are confusing.
Summary: I gave an Omron HJ-112 pedometer to my mother for her 68th birthday. She is a technophile and has little difficulty with gadgets. She loves the fact that this pedometer shows the mileage, the number of steps taken, how many of those were aerobic steps, and the number of calories burned. The meter is well-made, easy to read, and easy to wear. The biggest drawback, she said, are the absolutely awful instructions for attaching the clip to the meter. She found that process to be extremely confusing, cumbersome, and more complicated than it needed to be. If that one aspect of this meter were improved, the meter would easily garner "five stars" from this reviewer!

Strengths: Easy to set up and use. Safety line a boon. Multi-day feature is surprisingly very useful.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: After wasting money on two other pedometers, this one has proved to be worth every penny (and combining the two prior deviced I bought, it would have been cheaper to buy this first). Well thought out, good retaining devices, works flawlessly.

Strengths: Super accurate, great options (ordinary vs. aerobic steps), super design
Weaknesses: A little bit pricey
Summary: This is a five star product!
I got this pedometer few days ago and I attached a clip in just few seconds. It's not that confusing at all (just watch the drawing and you see all).
- Great accuracy: I tried it by counting my steps and comparing with what was displayed: it is about 2% over.
- Greatest thing: I do my warm-up ("regular steps") and when I start with my workouts (aerobic steps), I don't need to reset the counter as with my previous pedometers. Aerobic steps - it's a separate counter. Wow!
- The design is also very nice. Not that big as some said, very easy to setup, memory function is so good (look back for 1 week to see how you did).
I put it in my pocket - and no difference in counting compared to the belt position.
The strap is also great - my previous podometers just felt down and ... bye-bye.
This one, if ever slip, is attached by a strap , so - no problem at all.
Although it is pricey, it is worth every penny I paid. So far, it is THE BEST PEDOMETER I ever had.

Strengths: This pedometer seems to be completely accurate in its count. The 7-day memory is great, as are the different modes (distance, steps, kcal burned, aerobic steps) and it's very convenient to carry.
Weaknesses: Appearance-wise, it's not quite as trendy as others on the market, and with the holster, may be somewhat bulkier.
Summary: I was hesitant to spend the extra money for this pedometer when I could have purchased a decent one for less. However, I am VERY happy with this product. It comes with a 1-year warranty, operates on an inexpensive watch battery, and has every feature that a good pedometer should. Five stars!

Strengths: Easy to set up. Very accurate. Clean lines.
Weaknesses: None, so far.
Summary: I had done my share of 'research' regarding Pedometers. I wanted one that was both accurate yet affordable. Every review I read about the OMRON HJ-112 Premium Pedometer seemed to have glowing remarks. After careful consideration, I decided to purchase one online and give it a try. I had tried a couple of cheaper Pedometers in the past, and was left somewhat unfulfilled with their results(If you've purchased others, then you KNOW what I mean). The OMRON HJ-112 has changed my mind about Pedometers and I find that it does EVERYTHING that I want it to do! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Try one and you'll see what I mean...You WON'T be sorry you did.
