HJ112 Pedometer Review

The HJ112 Pedometer is a step counter manufactured by Omron, a Japanese company whose technology was also behind the development of some of the first automated teller machines or ATMs.

This company was founded in 1933, the times when the mechanical pedometers introduced by Thomas Jefferson in the US were the only devices in the market.

Well, fortunately Omron has developed the technological savvy over the years, and its current HJ112 Pedometer is a far cry from those hard-to-read, pendulum-based old pedometers that click annoyingly as it measures each step.

That’s one characteristic where the HJ112 Pedometer sets itself apart from the contraptions left around by Mr. Jefferson.

One of the most desirable qualities of the Omron step counter is that it is quiet. The only disadvantage that the HJ112 Pedometer has is that it is a bit bulkier than other step counter models available in the market today.

Nonetheless, consumer tests show that the HJ112 Pedometer is one of the tops in its class. It was designed with features that are suitable for both runners and walkers who want to keep close track of their running or walking exercises in addition to monitoring the total daily steps they take.

In short, this is one indefatigable device that counts steps all day. And not only that, the HJ112 Pedometer also counts calories expended, distance, and has a 7-day memory.

This memory function is an advantage for those who may not have the time to log in their steps every day.

Another endearing quality of the HJ112 Pedometer is that it could be carried many ways. The user can have it clipped at his or her waistband or belt, placed in the pocket, bag, pack or purse.

It has to be ensured though that the device is always perpendicular to the ground for the HJ112 Pedometer to function properly.

Nonetheless, this step counter will also remain in optimal function even while at a slanted or tilted position.
