Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer
Customer Review: screws fall out easily
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought 4 of these for a family activity to track our steps. The screws have fallen out of the backs of each of them making them totally useless. Cost to repair units with Omron is more than the cost of the units. No method for Omron to just send the screws out, but the nice customer service person "wishes she could". She also acknowledged getting lots of similar complaints. Screws not available in any normal hardware store.

Customer Review: Plunge proof and extremely accurate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this pedometer strapped to my waist for 2 weeks now. It is extremely accurate and I have come to count on it! It even survived a plunge in the toilet! I called my husband (after it had fallen in the toilet and I had reached in and grabbed it without even thinking!)to tell him and he told me I had to review this thing. While it does not say that it is waterproof, I have personal experience that it is. And lysol proof (I had to spray it after it's gross plunge in the yellow pool of death). I definately would give this product 5 stars. Definately!Customer Review: Counts revolutions on the recumbent bike as steps
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Omron Hip Pedometer as part of my New Year's resolution to move more. It's my first-ever pedometer.
The "Accurate SmartSensor Technology" says it's 'more advanced than pendulum pedometers'. I'm not sure what that means, but it says in its documentation that the pedometer measures the following: steps, moderate steps and minutes, distance, and calories burned. A clock and a 7 day memory that resets at midnight are also part of the package.
When I took it out of the box I noticed the weight - very light. The display is large, so squinting to read it isn't needed. The display isn't lighted though, which would have been a nice addition.
Set-up was relatively quick and easy. The battery is already installed, so it's simply a matter of following the enclosed directions to set it. Proper placement on your hip is essential for the device to work, but that too is in the directions.
One thing that I'm not sure is a good thing or not is that when I ride a recumbent bike at the gym and wear this pedometer, it counts the revolutions of the bike pedals as steps. Yes, I could take it off to ride the bike... but frankly, I love to see those numbers!
Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. I can't speak to its longevity as a device, but it seems durable and well made. It fits in the palm of my hand (I have small hands) and the clip attaches firmly to my pants whether I'm wearing yoga pants to workout or my jeans while I'm out on my daily errands.
Customer Review: Omron HJ-151 Pedometer
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm using this for running- I know it doesn't specify in the details-- but you can use it for running. I've found that it's not perfect. It's off by a bit- it overestimates how far I've gone. I'm not sure if it's consistent with it's overestimation or not though. I also wish there was an "on/off" button so that it wouldn't start measuring until I wanted it to. But all in all- I've found it helpful in helping me measure how far I've run (I'm training for a 1/2 marathon) and I don't always know how far the distances are...Customer Review: Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I have only used this device for three days before it failed. The set button was depressed and stayed depressed making it impossible to change setting. The concept is great but the quality of the unit is poor.
