Product Reviews of Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer for Aerobic Activity
Product Review: Item OK but it all depends on Omron's customer service representative
Summary: 4 Stars
I had one Omron pedometer that worked perfectly for a couple of months but I lost it:-). Bought a second one that "got stuck" and stopped counting my steps after 2 weeks.I called Omron Customer Service and a very unfriendly lady said I should change the battery (after 2 weeks!) and that is what happened often when buying the product at Amazon. As that did not make any sense and she was not willing to provide any other solution I hang up and called again.The new lady that picked up was friendly and helpful and solved the issue in 5 minutes, by guiding me in changing the settings. Now the pedometer works fine and I wish somebody at Omron would read this review and do what needs to be done at their Customer Service Department...Product Review: Piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
This Omron pedometer is a piece of junk. It simply doesn't count 1/3 or so of my steps. I suggest no one buy it.Product Review: Omron Hj-151 pedometer--Healthy and handy
Summary: 5 Stars
Omron makes the best pedometer I've tried over many years. The HJ-151 is even a step better in that it keeps track of steps and steps at a 3.5 mph or above pace in addition to a 7 day log. All of which add to the incentive to get out and walk or jog, and that makes the wine at the end of the day even better.

Product Review: The best pedometer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had many types of pedometers - and this is the best. What I like most about it as compared with others:
- does not make a clicking sound when I walk
- no cover to open to see how I'm doing (also handy because it has a clock so I sometimes use it to check the time)
- easy to operate and easy to read
- resets back to zero steps at midnight so in the morning I just grab and go
- good looking design and unobtrusive in black
A group of my friends all have this pedometer and we support each other in getting our steps in by reporting how we are doing and inviting each other on walks.
Product Review: Needs leash, otherwise very good product
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, you do need the little leash that must be purchased separately (A shout-out to Omron: sell them packaged together). I lost my first pedometer in the supermarket after two days. Yes, I had the leash, but no, I was not using it. The plastic clip seemed to be working well. I quickly learned that bending over, leaning into a grocery cart, and slinging grocery totes around are all moves that can loosen or dislodge it. The only other issue is, you must either learn to read it upside down, turn it cock-eyed or remove it to read it.
Those are little issues. The bigger picture is, this is comfortable to wear, reliable, very easy to read, serves as a watch, and has an accessible manual that makes programming straightforward. There is a psychological boost to using a good pedometer. The Omron's various functions provide a boost to get in those extra steps and aim for 10,000 a day.
