Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-303 Pocket Pedometer
Customer Review: Omron HJ-303
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel that this product is excellent. I had never had a pedometer before and simply wanted something that I could put in my pocket or carry in my pack and not worry about it. At the end of the walk or day, I wanted to know how far I went. However, when I started researching pedometers, I found that different pedometers had 1, 2, or 3 acceleromters, had to be worn just so, etc. This one seemed to have the freedom of use, simplicity of operation, and useful features that I was looking for. It comes with a handy belt clip and strap or it can be dropped into a pocket (my style) on the way out the door. It seems to be very accurate (I compared walks through my neighborhood against the odometer of my car). It counts steps, mileage, and calories on a per trip and per day basis and maintains a 7 day history. It includes a clock and trip timer. I can't say that I have personal experience with many other pedomters but I am 100% satisified with the Omron HJ-303.Customer Review: Disappointed Walker

I have been a real fan of Omron products and own several varieties of pedometers and a blood pressure device - I have been very happy. I purchased this item and started using it at the first of 2010 and loved it - five stars. I walk 10k steps a day and am pretty anal about tracking my progress so...I was upset when all the sudden the time changed. I called the company and they were not very responsive. To me this was a grave problem - it should not do that and should have been replaced. I did not push hard with them, but maybe I am silly and have an expectation that a company will stand behind their products. It has since done it three more times and I will replace it with a pedometer not made by Omron. I went from being a raving fan to being an unhappy customer. I believe I did what I should have done but their product and customer service failed. I cannot recommend this product or the customer service of this company. Good luck and keep walking!!Customer Review: A wonderful fitness asset and motivator

I have had my Omron HJ-303 for a few months now and I absolutely LOVE IT! It is in my pocket every day, and motivates me to get in as many steps as I can. It is wonderful to have the trip meter, as well as the 7 day memory. I am also extremely happy that it is customizable to my weight, height, and stride length so that I know I am getting more accurate results on the number of steps as well as the calories burned. It is very small and fits in my pocket and I do not have to wear it on a belt clip, which is a huge plus for me. Also, since it is digital, it does not click with every step when walking around the office or other places during my day. When I don't have it in my pocket, I always feel like I'm missing out on the information that it would have collected at the end of the day! I highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to get or stay fit.Customer Review: Doesn't work if you drive a car
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my second Omron pedometer - both were worthless. I bought the Model HJ-112 a couple of years ago and noticed that it often added hundreds - sometimes a few thousand - phantom steps, particularly if I was driving in my car. Useless. I then bought this model thinking it might be more accurate. I wore it one day and noticed the exact same thing happened. It registered a few thousand steps while I was driving home from work. I checked the user manual and saw that it contains a warning buried inside that the vibrations from driving may cause it to register phantom steps. No warning before I bought it. Because I commute to and from work five days a week, and am in the car every day, this device is totally worthless to me. It's sitting on my dresser taking up space. My advice - unless you never drive or ride in a car, don't buy this device.Customer Review: HJ-303 It all came out in the wash
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the HJ-303 from Amazon in June, 2009. I've logged over 300000 steps with it since then. Today, I pulled my shorts from the washer and found the HJ-303 diligently clipped to the pocket. It had gone through the heavy duty cycle in my Whirlpool Duet front loader! It logged 304 moderate steps in there. That's somewhat interesting but, what's even more interesting is that it came out of the washer squeaky clean and ready for my next walk!
I'm very satisfied with this pedometer. I've compared it to the odometer on my car and with other manual pedometers that I own and it is very consistent. Now that it has survived the punish-er, I'm really happy with it. I'm just pleased that I caught it before it went to the dryer. Somehow though, I think it would have been just fine in there too.
I recommend this pedometer.
