Omron's HJ-151 Hip Pedometer is a great motivational tool to track your steps as you walk your way through the day, and towards greater fitness. The small device's simple operation is perfect for walking beginners, and it's a great tool to help you achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle. Whether your goal is to maintain or improve overall health, lose weight or get more energy in your daily life, physical activity is essential to staying healthy. At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended each day, and the HJ-151 pedometer separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace. It also calculates calories burned and the distance traveled. The sleek and small HJ-151 simply clips to your belt before you head out for a walk. Or, wear it throughout your busy day to find out just how much walking you're doing in a typical day of work, errands, and play. Note that the HJ-151 must be positioned correctly; it must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function accurately. The device counts your steps and then saves the information for up to seven days, letting you review a full week of exercise. The HJ-151 resets its internal step counter at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. An easy-to-read large display also features a clock so you've always got a timepiece at your side. The HJ-151 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. | Compare Omron Pedometers |  |

 Pedometer yes, clip no. March 8, 2010
K. Larsen (Utah)
I was so excited to finally find an efficient, easy to use pedometer! I appreciated how it tracked for 7 days, was completely quiet, no clicking, and even kept track of my steps when I was using machines for other aerobic activity, which it is not guaranteed to do. But then I got home one day and it had fallen off of my belt! I was so upset it was gone. I definitely want to buy another one to replace it, but I will have to buy a safety clip to go along with it I guess. So I took a star away for the clip that didn't come through for me. But the pedometer part gets an excellent review.
 purchase the Omron HJ-112 instead March 6, 2010

Do not waste your money on the pocket ped. I LOVE my HJ-112, but thought I had lost it. I drive a school bus, so I have excess movement that is not a "step" the HJ-112 does not count my driving as steps. But, I thought it was gone forever. So, I liked the design of the hip pedometer, smaller, clip attached to the unit, and Omron, it had to be great, right? WRONG. It counted EVERY movement, and then I think some I didn't even take.
How do I know. I found my HJ-112 and did a little comparison study one day. Sure enough, the hip ped had DOUBLE the amount of steps on it. (Now sure, I would love to say I walked all those steps, but, I can only deceive my mind, my body would show the truth.)I called Omron, and unfortunately, the gal tried to tell me that it was because of my stride distance...ok, I hated to have to explain how the product actually works and that that would only effect my distance walked, not the actual steps walked....phew...but I digress.
LOVE the HJ-112 and wear it everyday, I now have it attached to loop so that I don't loose it out of my pocket. Hope that helps. Smiles to All.

This is a good product. The residents use them at the retirement community to keep track of their exercise. Our fitness trainers recommended these pedometers after testing others.
 Love the pedometer...hate the clip! March 2, 2010

I loved this pedometer, it's simple and very accurate. However, after buying two of them, one fell off and was lost, the other fell off and was broken, I have switched to another omron that can be better attached. The one I purchased and have now, can track more "stuff" that I don't need but it has a better clip and it comes with a safety leash. The pedometer has come off, but because of the leash, it has not fallen to the ground. Hopefully I'll have this one for a while.
 Not so good for a busy mother February 22, 2010

I bought this because I want to get serious about being more active and I was tired of cheap pedometers. I am a busy homeschooling mom to four kids and I am on the go all day long. I know from using pedometers in the past that I easily met my 10,000 step a day goal, and I wanted to increase that.
This pedometer has fun bells and whistles like keeping track of 7 days and calculating how many calories you've burned, but it does not work at all for me. For one thing, it doesn't start counting until you've been walking for 4 seconds. I tend to head one way, stop to help a child, head back, stop to stir something and then dash in another direction. The pedometer logs almost NO MOVEMENT at all during my typical day, even when I don't seem to stop moving. I tried pacing in my kitchen to see what it would do, but I made it to the end of the kitchen in less than 4 seconds every time and so it never started counting.
For another thing, it doesn't register regular steps at all for me, or walking in place. I have even marched in front of the full length mirror and watched it. Even after 4 long seconds and deliberate stomping, it didn't register anything. Sometimes it'll finally catch up and flash a whole bunch of numbers once it finally decides I'm moving in a way it's going to register, but it's still almost nothing compared to how much I do move.
Because of this, it shows that I do almost no walking and it shows I've burned something like 60 calories all day. For two days in a row, I watched evening TV by marching in place for the full hour and it showed about 20 steps. Talk about unmotivating! It makes me feel depressed and like not continuing at all. One reason I loved pedometers in the past was because it was such a good feeling to see the steps build up. This just makes me feel like what's the point.
If I didn't have to pay return shipping, I'd just return it for my money back. It's a nifty gadget but for my purposes it doesn't work at all.
