 this has inspired me to double my daily walk to 5 miles November 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I always walked home from work,but ever since I saw how long/short that walk really is I started to walk to work as well. It brings me well over 10,000 steps a day without having to carve out more than 20 extra minutes each way. I have been inspired
Awesome Product.....Love it! November 22, 2008
Purchased this item over a month ago, and have been using it daily since then. I wore it on my waistband for a few days, but found it to be awkward, and it fell off a few times when I would bend over...also I have small children that are always pulling on me, and they love to press the buttons and reset the pedometer mid-day. My solution was to clip it to the center of my bra. I completely forget it's there, and it never falls off. I walk the same 8 mile route each morning, and my steps always calculate basically the same so I know it's accurate. This is a great item for weight loss, because it makes you very conscious of exactly how much exercise you're getting during the day. This was a great purchase!
Another Modern Marvel November 20, 2008
This precision device, accurately measures only one thing directly: the total number of steps taken. Although, based on your entered weight and stride length, it also calculates the approximate calories burned, the number of "aerobic" steps taken, and distance walked. Furthermore, the meter resets at midnight, and keeps a 7 day log of all this information.
Granted that all variables are calculated (except total number of steps taken, By nature, they are not precise, and cannot be expected to be so. However, this is merely a limitation of physics and mathematics, not a problem with the pedometer itself.
I have owned it for about two weeks, and tested it in my twice daily walk up to a local park, with a known round trip distance of 2.8 miles. This meter consistently comes pretty close to this number with every walk. It calculates, based on one's weight (which, for me, is neatly coming down), thanks to the motivational factor that this device provides.
Omron is a trusted brand name for medical devices. I have owned an Omron spghymomaneter (blood pressure meter), that has served me well for years, giving accurate pulse and blood pressures.
Other reviews are correct that the belt clip is not reliable. I suggest attaching a safety pin through the cord, and clipping it to your shorts, sweats, or clothing. Make it un-loseable this way, or you will probably eventually lose it.
Conclusion: if you are serious about a walking exercise program, this is an extremely useful and low cost investment. Highly recommended, especially for diabetics those wishing to add exercise to the formula for lowering cardiovascular and stroke risk.
LOVE IT! November 18, 2008
I have tried several pedometers over the last couple of years. I found this one to be easy to program and use. The numbers are big enough it can be read easily without my glasses. I have tested against other machines to see the accuracy of my numbers and found it to be right on the mark. I loved it so much I have bought one for my walking partner!
A Great Pedometer November 17, 2008
This is the second pedometer I've owned, and I love it. It does have some tiny flaws, but then nothing is perfect. What I like about this is:
- keeps track of steps whether clipped to one's waist, in one's pocket, or even in one's purse. What a fabulous feature! I usually keep it in a pocket, though I have kept it in my purse on occasion. I've tried clipping it to my waistband, but it doesn't seem to work as well there.
- tracks steps, aeorbic steps, miles, and calories burned. I've found the miles walked an especially nice feature as I am training towards 5K and eventually towards half-marathons.
- the easy to read large read is great for those of whose eye-sight is not what it once used to be.
- the 7 day memory is great for keeping track of progress over the past few days of what/how I've done.
This pedometer has so impressed me, I've bought one for my boyfriend, and will soon be buying one for my mother. I just think it's great, and the price is pretty on the wallet as well.
