The Omron Healthy Living Kit combines three of Omron's top selling products in one economical package. Great way to track the results or your diet or excercise progam!
Customer Review: uncooperative manufacturer
Omron, did not work. I called the company that made it. They asked for the serial number which I gave them. They said it had been made four years before and that the batteries "were probably dead". That I could replace them. They were not willing to do anything to help so I returned the merchandise. I have no idea if it was a good product or not.

Omron HJ-105 Translucent Digital Pedometer - Select From 4 Colors, Purple

A digital pedometer can help you track your exercise program progress and make it easier for you to set and reach your exercise goals. Simply set the time, your weight and stride length - and start moving!
Customer Review: Nice pedometer
The HJ-105 is so light I don't even know I have it clipped to my belt. Unlike some that weigh a ton or are noisy (they 'click' as you walk) this one is quiet and that's that. Took me a bit to get to adjusting it for my stride but once I got that figure, programming it in was easy. One of the two of the features I liked was it keeps a week's worth of data logged in. Once you've set the clock and midnight ticks past, all the current day's data is stored as yesterday's data, the old seventh day data getting dumped. So you can review your progress and don't have to write stuff down after each use (if you're like me and want to keep track). The other great feature is the arobic mode. If you keep up a certain step pace for at least 10 minutes, it starts to be logged as arobic time...when you've been exercising long enough to make it count. When I'm done for the day I just take a glance to see how much of my walking was "power" walking to give me something to aim for.
Customer Review: Negative stars on onlinecomponents service
Can't comment on the product because I never received it. After 2 weeks, I complained. It wasn't until then that I discovered the order had been cancelled--with no notice to me. Hasn't prevented me from making great strides (heh) in my fitness program, but would have been nice to be able to make other plans so the early stages of my progress would be documented. It's motivating to see the numbers add up, you know? Have ordered another pedometer from another vendor. Fingers crossed I'll actually get this one!

Customer Review: This is the best pedometer ever
I have had several of this model Omron pedometer ( I misplaced a few) and think it is the best. It is very accurate and keeps aerobic steps and aerobic time as well .This is so helpful. Also the shape of it insures that it does not dig into your midriff. If anyone has a problem , it is probably because they have not adjusted the pedometer on a daily basis. I check for accuracy as soon as I put it on because you can't expect the same reading if you clip it on a different place all the time. I don't go by the calories burned but this too could be helpful to some people.
Customer Review: I could kick myself for buying this item.
I am 14 weeks into a walking program and dropped my simple pedometer. I buy this one and have not been able to track my steps for over a week. I am usually not technically challenged, but I cannot get this to count my steps. I am going to Dick's or CVS this weekend to buy a simple step counter so I can get back on track with my program.

Omron HJ303 Go Smart Tri Axis Pedometer

Health professionals and the US Department of Health recommends that walking a half-hour each day at a moderate pace may promote good health and weight management. Use the Go Smart Tri Axis Pedometer to help you maximize efficiency of each and every walk,

Unlike a pedometer, which attempts to calculate gross measurements of calories burned using steps counted over time, the Go-Smart Pedometer accurately calculates calories burned, by using a state-of-the-art tri-axis accelerometer. This accelerometer measures physical activity based on the inertial movements of your body weight.

The Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise, and there's also a 42-day memory for uploading past workouts to your PC. The device resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-720ITC is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The pedometer also includes PC software for Windows 2000 or XP, which keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.



The included Omron Health Management Software provides a steps graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. View larger.

Customer Review: 50-50
I purchased this specific pedometer because it came with a CD with software. This would allow me to input the data from the pedometer into a program on my computer and monitor my progress. Well, the pedometer works great, does what it should by counting my steps. I like the different modes offered such as calories, miles, steps, etc. What I don't like is that I still cannot get the CD/software to work. I have contacted Omron through email and they sent me a link to download the software directly from their site. Still no luck. My next step is to call them in person to get a solution. I would not return the pedometer and CD because the pedometer does do what it should. If it turns out that I can never use the software, I will be disappointed - more towards 'modern technology' than against Omron.
Customer Review: stopped working 2 days past return window :-(
This thing was pretty cool for about a month. After that, it began resetting the count over and over and flashing a low battery sign (even minutes after a new battery was put in). Of course, this happened about 2 days after it was past the last day I could get a refund. Very unhappy and would not recommend. Just get yourself a plain old pedometer. If you have a calculator, you can figure out your mileage on your own, and save your cash for something else.

Works . Fairly accurate. I got it for my wife, but she forgets to wear it. If mine breaks I'll use this one. I like the time feature and the 7 day look back.
