The best bit is the lack of moving parts I won't go into describing the unit as that's been done by everyone else... I'll focus instead on my pro's and con's. Pros: easy to use, accurate (other people seem to have had issues, I've found mine very accurate) and it really does work in a pocket/bag etc - this is the best feature really and justifies my buying it. Neutral: It's in metric (I prefer this), you can't reset it (it works on 24 hour periods) - it doesn't track average speed, the manual doesn't explain what the 'g' figure under... more info
Not Accurate al all I bought this after reading the great reviews about this . I am really disappointed with it. The step counting is not at all accurate. I tried adjusting the stride length thinking that it might make it read my steps more accurately but that did not work. Its not worth buying at all..it just over counts . I counted my steps to be a 100 and the pedometer counted them as 135!....
All it seems? I'm not sure about the Omron as I walk a lot in my job. One day I took note of the reading on my gadget and actually counted the next 500 steps I did. The reading had gone up by 708 steps!! I've done it a couple more times too and it's done the same. How does that happen?
So I don't think it's quite as accurate as the manufacturers say, unless I've got a faulty one. So my advice is, don't rely too heavily on the Omron reading, it may just be telling you lies!
Keep Track To Succeed! I have an Omron pedometer while my wife has another brand. I have to say that pedometers are probably one of the best (and most fun) ways to stay in shape and lose weight. Set up is easy, and once you're done with that, there's nothing left to do but to do it! So how much should you walk? The most common recommendation is 10,000 steps a day- which is equivalent to about 5 miles. They get the 10,000 number from studies showing that adults who get this much exercise a day are healthy.
