Customer Reviews of Oregon Scientific PE319 Pedometer with Panic Alarm
Customer Review: Despite flaws, solid pedometer
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this as a gift from my mom, who appreciated (and recommends) the OMRON HJ112 Premium Pedometer that I purchased for her. While at first I was disappointed, agreeing with the 1- and 2-star reviews, and wished she had spent double the money to get me the HJ112, after using this pedometer for a few weeks and learning its features and quirks, I have come to like it.
First, it does reset easily if you keep it in the step counter mode. If you switch to view the distance or calories on the screen, then only the stopwatch resets. Problem of keeping track of steps on your own solved.
Second, it does count extra steps on some movements, but you can calibrate it with the sensitivity dial. I wore it for my morning walk, counting every 100-200 steps and adjusting the sensitivity until it was within 5% every time. It doesn't count extra steps while I'm driving, but it might if you actively move in your seat at a desk job.
Third, I was really worried I'd constantly be setting off the personal safety alarm on accident. Luckily, the pin is not easy to pull out. It is attached to the extra alligator clip to hold the pedometer on your clothes, but even hanging by that clip alone won't pull the pin out. I have yet to hear the alarm because my husband and dog have begged me not to try it out.
If I like this pedometer so much, why don't I give it 5-stars? Because it could be better. The sensitivity dial is fairly easy to move accidentally, so I'm afraid I'll have to recalibrate it often. It doesn't have a memory feature. (My mom's will remember your steps for the last seven days.) I think it would be helpful if it had a "rest mode" so you could put it on pause and not count steps while sitting at your desk (or napping on the couch as us pregnant women tend to do). It would be nice to be able to leave it on step mode; a reset button that is tougher to push would help. And the battery compartment is hard to get to (need a very small screwdriver), plus I'm not looking forward to finding replacements for the batteries, although one is only for the alarm, so if I'm lucky I won't have to replace it.
Despite it's minor flaws, I recommend this pedometer.
