Size: HIP Pedometer, Aerobic

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars What could be simpler?, July 11, 2007

By	Buck Bauer (ELDERSBURG, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This pedometer counts all the steps you take while walking at a moderate pace, during the course of one day. Pressing a button will display the number of steps you have walked so far on that day. Then at midnight it stores the total, and resets the count to zero, ready for the next day's walking. Pressing the button repeatedly will show how many steps you walked on each of the previous seven days. Setup is easy -- you only have to set the time of day. The instructions are confused on one point: when they say "The unit must be positioned horizontally . . ." they really mean vertically, the position it automatically assumes when clipped to your belt.

I see this item listed five times here, but this one is the only one that ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, and qualifies for Super Saver shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if you just want a step counter!, September 26, 2007

By	Libby (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

I've been walking for years and always on the lookout for a good pedometer. Most of them are either too complicated, too cheap or won't stay on my waist band. This one gets 5 stars from me in all areas, plus the numbers are large and easy to see. Though a bit more expensive, it's the perfect pedometer for people who just want to count steps!

2.0 out of 5 stars stopped registering steps in less than 30 days, October 21, 2007

By	nekko1 "nekko1" (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews

I can see the other 7 reviewers are delighted with their unit but my HJ-150 was purchased Sept 14th, stopped working October 12th. The battery is OK because the clock function works, and I can reset the whole unit, it just doesn't register any steps anymore.

For a $12.50 purchase, I'll drop them an email and see if they will replace the unit but I am not going to spend much time on the process. Hopefully Omrom will do the right thing and replace it.
