Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity

Customer Review: Simple and easy to use. Works great!
Summary: 4 Stars

This pedometer will measure number of steps, calories burn and distance in miles.

Made by Omron, a brand I trust for my blood pressure and my kids' temperature.
It is simple and easy to use. It only has 2 lines of text; on top shows you the number of steps, calories or distance - display rotates when you push the Mode button. The other line of text shows you the time. The device is attractive in black and gray combination. Looks like a nice little MP3 player. The LCD screen is protected by a layer of clear plastic, so you have to peel it off first before you can use it. The pedometer has a clip at the back so you can clip it on your waist garter, similar to that of the iPod shuffle.

When you get it for the first time, you will need to set up the proper time, your weight and your height. It is important to set up the time because the pedometer will go back to 0 at exactly 12:00 AM everyday. There are 2 buttons at the back and you will need a sharp object to press them. The System Rest button, is a factory reset, this will delete all data and put the setting back to default. The other button is the Set button, used for setting up the time.It will store your last 7 days of workout. Repeated press on the Memo button will display your 7 days history.

While in use, the LCD will turn off after 5 minutes to save battery consumption (but the pedometer will still continue counting steps). Press Memo button to wake up the display again.

ACCURACY:
I actually counted 200 steps and it recorded 201. The error probably is my own or my position. But that is 0.5% error in accuracy.

BATTERY:
It was shipped with a 3-volt Energizer Watch/Electronic Battery. To open the battery compartment, you will need a small watch screw driver. 2 screws at the back. A low battery indicator will prompt you when you need to replace the battery.

Made in China.

CONS:
- You cannot start the pedometer to 0 if you want to measure the number of steps, calories, or distance for a particular route, unless you reset the device completely. It only starts from 0 by 12:00 each morning.
- I don't like the bubble wrap packaging. It is a struggle to open.

Product Description: OmronŽ HJ-151 Pedometer

Physical activity is essential to staying healthy, and every small step can lead to big improvements. An accurate Omron Pedometer like the HJ-151 is a partner that motivates you to take those extra steps toward better health and increased energy. Just clip it to your hip and it accurately counts every step, using Omron's renowned accelerometer technology. The HJ-151 pedometer is specially designed for power walking and aerobic exercise. It counts your moderate (i.e., "brisk") steps separately from normal walking steps, as well as the distance and time you've traveled, giving you more information about your overall activity level.

When You Know Your Numbers, You'll Grow Your Numbers.

You'd be surprised by how many steps you already take each day. A few hundred walking to the bus, a couple thousand going a few blocks down for lunch, and with an Omron Pedometer you'll know just how many steps you're taking and begin looking for ways to see that number get bigger every day.

Every Step Counts

Omron Pedometers use smart sensor technology rather than the standard pendulum system to get a more accurate reading.

The Omron HJ-151 Pedometer offers:
Omron Dual-Axis Technology? Counts steps accurately and quietly when used on the hip
Tracks Two Kinds of Steps? The HJ-151 tracks both regular and brisk steps separately
Tracks Daily Distance and Calories Burned? For better health tracking
Automatic Reset? Start with a clean slate each day to track your steps more accurately
Weekly Log? Store up to 7 days of information in memory; resets to zero at midnight so you're ready to go every morning
Four tracking modes? Track steps, moderate "brisk" steps, time and distance

A few steps toward a healthier life

Walking is a great way to stay healthy. In fact, walking 10,000 steps a day is widely recommended by health and fitness professionals. And when you track your steps with a pedometer, like the Omron HJ-151, studies show you're likely to increase your total number of steps a day by about 2,000, or 1 mile.*

Getting Started

Warm Up First-Before your walk, stretch (arm circles, hip circles and leg lifts) to get your blood flowing and reduce the risk of injury.

Use a Pedometer?Omron Pedometers are the partners you can count on when you want to accurately track your daily routine and help you reach your recommended 10,000 daily steps.

Set Goals?Begin slowly and work your way up. By setting goals you'll push yourself farther and achieve more.

Mix It Up?Add variety to your routine by changing pace, walking uphill or just changing your route.

Add Resistance?Include some upper-body exercises as you walk, such as arm reaches or carrying water bottles in each hand to increase your calorie burn.
