Omron Healthy Living Kit: Digital Pedometer, Body Fat Monitor, and Heart Rate Monitor - A $159 Value!

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.
