I have used several pedometers in the past with no luck. They would either over-estimate or under-estimate. This pedometer doesn't do that. It is exactly on the money. I did about 5 test counting my steps to see was the pedometer correct. It was correct every time. I love the extra clip. You can clip it to your pants/skirt and then attact the security clip to a belt loop etc. I have had it fall off of me twice (belt clip and all)when I was picking up something heavy. But both times it just dangled by the security clip. So far it has not just fell out of the belt clip by iteself. The software is great. It tracks steps by the hour. You can also set goals for yourself. Overall this pedometer is good for the price and great for beginners/imntermediate walkers.

I've been wearing pedometers for the last 6 years and this is the best one I've had. I goes in the pocket so not as obvious as on one's belt and counts steps at any angle. Definitely worth the price.

This product is tough, durable and excellent for tracking steps, and especially arobic steps. The only problem I have had with it is if you wear it to work, and you have any pudge at the waist, it get puched off your slacks or skirt. But small price to pay for watching your steps and getting healthy.

I've really found this pocket pedometer to be the solutions to all the problems I've had with other pedometers. Although I've never lost a pedometer down the toilet (which people in my walking program have done), the belt pedometers have fallen off while hauling brush, sawing logs, and even while hiking. With the Omron pedometer in my pocket, those problems are non-existent. Secondly, with other pedometers they reset themselves, often half-way through a walking session. This has never happened with Omron. Lastly, I wasn't very good about remembering to reset and record step counts every morning. The Omron does this automatically for you and not only resets, but keeps a record of the past seven days (visible) and more days in its memory. Having the ability to down load step counts to my computer is a great advantage. The price to utility value is very high and I've gone through many pedometers of varying costs to arrive at this point.

I have used other pedometers in the past that were of some use but nothing like the Omron. I liked it so much that I purchased one for my wife. You can set goals and track your progress on your computer. My wife and I use it every day and while on vacation, shopping or out of town enter all the data into the lap top to keep track of how we are doing. Has it made an impact on my life, you bet it has.
