Omron HJ-320 Tri-Axis Alvita Pedometer

Love the Omron HJ-320. I was introduced to this product via a research study that I participated in at a University lab. I needed to count the number of steps I was taking daily and report the results to the research office. This product is very slim, good strong clip to use on your clothing or it has the option to work just as effectively by having it in the pocket of your pants, skirt, coat, etc. It records 7 days at a time and has a variety of other options for you to record your physical activity. I was so impressed with the Omron HJ-320 after wearing it in conjunction with this research study for over 6 weeks that I bought one for myself. Good product, strong clip, easy to use and program, can be worn on your clothing or records just as easy by carrying it in your pocket.

I recently lost my pedometer and had to replace it. No bells or whistles with this model. No internet connection needed. Just a battery. Apparently, I'd had my prior Omron pedometer since about 2014 and used it every day. The clip on the lanyard broke and I lost it. This lets me keep track of how many miles I walk in a day.

If you want to track your steps and calories, and upload the data to computer for comparison, purchase one of the more expensive devices that permit such record-keeping. If you only desire to keep an accurate count of steps taken and miles incurred per day, and get a sense of how much walking you are doing on a regular basis, his inexpensive pedometer works fine and takes up minimal room in your pocket. You won't be devastated if you lose it and have to buy another one. (I purchased a cord separately on Amazon for under $2 including shipping.) Set up is easy once you have measured the length of your stride in inches(be realistic when counting off the ten steps). The HJ-320 keeps records for the current and the seven previous days. (It resets to zero at midnight local time.) You can't upload the data and there is no record of calories consumed or sleep time, just steps, distance in miles, and time of day. After researching the more expensive devices I decided to try the HJ-320 first for a couple of months to see whether I was really into record-keeping (as I am with my bike rides). I will likely just stick with the HJ-320 and depend on it to encourage me to walk more during my workday. Update: After 5 years and many miles my HJ-320 died. I quickly purchased another one. Although the price had increased this pedometer still seems to be a very good choice if you want to count distance as well as steps. If you want a lanyard as I do it must be purchased separately, a minor extra cost

Low cost and excellent performance. It is very simple to set up, extremely light weight, small footprint, and records steps accurately. Just drop it in your pocket and forget about it. I only use it for walks and it is very accurate, within a foot. The main source of discrepancy is in how you measure your stride (step). Since the stride changes with velocity, think of the figure as an average plus or minus a small difference with the measured length (true length of the circuit). An adjustment of just one inch gave me the exact same figures (device, circuit) so be aware of this. The device resets itself automatically every day and allows for up to 7 days history plus today (total of 8 days). Converts steps to distance and has a clock (not a stopwatch, just a clock), so if you want time you have to either bring a stopwatch or record start / finish time. You may select miles or kilometers. Extremely useful. If you are having separate sessions just record the initial steps count and/or miles/kilometer count and the substract from it.

It's a nice little thing, especially for the price. I've tried numerous times with how accurate it is--and it is VERY accurate. All you have to do is stick it in your pocket, and it's small enough to forget it's even there, and the slim shape makes it so you don't need to worry about it falling out. I also like how it has the memory--it seems to add a bit of motivation to move more so you have more on your record. I was lucky enough to get it right before they turned it into an add-on item! The size is very compact and it fits in a pocket well. It's 3 inches long, and about 1 1/8th of an inch wide,and about a third of an inch thick (without the clip). It's very small, About a third of the size seems to be solely for the brand name, and I think if they make an update they should take that part off and put the brand name somewhere else--make it just that much smaller! Also, it takes a minute or two to set it up (which isn't a bad thing). And when you run, it counts each step as one step (I think they're supposed to--I'm not a professional). I would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple and accurate pedometer.

There's a plethora of fancy-schmacy sleep and fitness trackers to choose from these days, but sometimes all you really need is a basic pedometer. People with real health challenges, like myself, don't need a device on their wrist to tell them they don't sleep well or tell them how many flights of stairs they can't climb. With the mobility limitations of my Parkinson's and Degenerative Disc Disease, all I really need is a tangible way to know how much I've moving each day, so I can improve a little each day. The Omron HJ-320 Tri-Axis Pedometer fits the bill quite nicely. Wish I'd bought one sooner! It's pretty simple to set up, with one important caveat. Make sure you synchronize the time correctly to AM or PM on set-up, otherwise your steps and distance reading will rollover at NOON instead of MIDNIGHT and throw your daily tallies off. Use the instructions to measure your own personal stride for accuracy as well. I have a short stride, which means it takes me quite a few more steps to reach a mile than other people. No wonder it felt like I was working harder! All in all, I've found the OMRON brand to be a worthy go-to for health meters, always dependable, user friendly, and just the best all-around value. I can whole-heartedly recommend the HJ-320 Tri-Axis Pedometer, if you don't need all the bells and whistles of a higher end fitness tracker.

Works great, tracks relatively accurate. Measures in steps and kilometres (or miles), keeps data for a week. Fairly easy setup, and it's small enough to fit in any of my pockets so it doesn't have to show.

Good

Works well, and quality seems good so far

I bought this to use with a weight loss app and it was important for me to do a set amount of steps a day. This is so a curate as you have to first measure your stride and enter it in to the pedometer. It also tells you how many miles or kilometers you have walked and a clock. So easy to use. I wear it every day just clip it on to my belt trousers or even on to my bra and it never falls off.

Great pedometer for the price - very easy to set up , small fits easily in pocket -seems accurate when checked on walking track once you get your stride right - if you just want to keep track of distance and don't want to be bothered hooking up to apps and Internet this one is for you
