The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger.

The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Q&A - Pedometers

Does it matter where the pedometer is placed or attached?
The HJ-150 and 151 Pedometer must be positioned correctly. Attach the unit to your belt or to the top of your waistband. The unit must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function correctly. The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer can also be placed in your pocket or purse.
What's the accuracy rate of Omron pedometers?
The precision of the step counting is within +/- 5%.
What are moderate steps?
At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended each day. The HJ-151 Pedometer separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace.
What are aerobic steps?
The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer separately displays aerobic steps and minutes that start counting after 10 minutes of continuous walking with more than 60 steps a minute.
How does the PC software work?
The HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer includes PC software for Windows 2000 or XP. It keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.

My wife bought this for me after our mechanical one died, and I really like it as it shows the distance walked in steps and miles, the calories burned, and the aerobic steps and distance. It also has a memory that shows the last seven days values for all of the above.

The only weak point is that the safety clip, which is very necessary, as the pedometer is easy to drop from your belt, is virtually unusable, as it is very small and hard to clip to anything. I modified mine with a clip from a nametag and it works just great. You will have lots of fun with it!

I've had this pedometer for a couple months now and have worn it every day (usually in my pocket) and really like it. It has motivated me to get more steps each day. It is much more accurate than cheaper pedometers that I have tried in the past. I like the aerobic step feature, the safety catch and the 7-day memory. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the face is quite easy to scratch. Just be careful not to carry anything sharp like keys in the same pocket.

I found this pedometer easy to use and accurate. The only reason I give 4 stars is because it is not possible to turn it off

I purchased two HJ 112 pedometers at a very reasonable price. They are easy to use and can be carried in a pocket or clipped to clothing. The display is clear and easy to understand. The set up instructions were clear and straightforward. Would definitely recommend for all types of users.

In the interest of good health, (10,000 steps a day), and a healthy dose of curiosity about how many steps I am currently walking daily, I researched different types of pedometers. Those I had tried in the past from the drug store and a then a sporting goods store "kept resetting themselves", no doubt some movement of mine or brush by something; but,this rendered them useless. I ordered the Omron. The supplier must be close, as it was here in less than 24 hours. Better yet, it works well, has not reset itself once or lost my daily count, and has a safety strap and clasp to assure that you don't lose it if it comes detached with a bump. My only reservation is that it does not count the myriad single steps you take, like in the kitchen, but only begins counting after 4 seconds of walking. For all the information received and stored, its cost was reasonable.
