The Omron HJ 112 Pedometer

If you're looking for a pedometer, you just might not have to look any further than the HJ 112 model from Omron. This is a great little pedometer that manages to combine features, price and design into one very attractive package. Whether you're an enthusiast or novice this pedometer will appeal.
I don't know how it manages it, but this pedometer somehow keeps an accurate record of your steps, distance and calories, even though you keep it in your pocket! The manual mentions something about dual sensor technology, but that's a bit technical for me.
It has a very clear and easy to read display, with decent sized buttons that you can operate comfortably on the move. If you'd rather fix it to your belt it comes with a detachable belt holder, along with a rugged and strong security strap.
It uses a replaceable lithium battery which should last for about 6 months. Assuming an average of 10,000 steps per day that works out to be quite a lot of walking on one battery!
I must admit I found this to be a brilliant pedometer. I did look at other models, but when I compared the price, features and ease of use, I personally thought this one came out the winner. The HJ 112 and the HJ 720ITC are both new type pedometers that you can keep in your pocket, and to be honest the only reason I picked the HJ 112 was because I didn't have any need for the software that comes with the 720 ITC.
In case you are wondering, yes, this pedometer can be used for jogging. In fact I use it for jogging now, although I never intended to when I bought it. It's surprising how much fitter you get after a few weeks of regular exercise!
I actually have a small circuit that I walk around, but after a while I had the urge to jog for a bit then walk again ..etc. Pretty soon I was jogging more than I was walking, although I'm sure I wouldn't have done that without the HJ 112.
Anyway, if you're looking for a reliable pedometer that won't let you down, and you're not particularly interested in all the extras, then the Omron HJ 112 is probably the one to go for.
If you're not the person doing the walking and you're considering buying a pedometer for someone else, the HJ 112 makes an ideal choice. It's got everything you need to keep track of your activity but is really easy to use.
Also, in addition to it being a bit of a cool gadget gift for someone, it's also a very practical and useful gift that will actually help them get or stay healthy. I don't know if there is a better way of showing someone that you really care about them.
