Over the past 10 years or so, I have bought 5 to 10 pedometers from Sports authority, Radio Shack and on-line. None of them lasted more than 3 months before failing until I bought the Omron HJ112. It is now going on it’s 3rd year, and it does everything that it claims, except that I find that the average battery life is closer to 9 months than 6 (and you can buy these batteries for very low prices on Amazon – I bought 5 Maxell for $2.00). Does everything that it claims – I keep it in my pocket, walk 1,000 or so steps and check the readout – almost right on target – well within the 5% claimed by the manufacturer. Likewise, I walk in NYC a lot where it is easy to measure a mile (20 blocks). Again, almost right on target. Buy this any you’ll probably never buy another.
