The HJ 105 Digital Pedometer can help you track your exercise program progress and make it easier for you to set and reach your exercise goals. Simply set the time, your weight and stride length – and start moving! Measurement of body fat composition is the key to long-term exercise success.

After inputting the data, a measurement can be started by simply holding the grip electrodes and pressing the START button. Of course, knowing your heart rate is also important because if you are working out too hard, your activity can become counter productive and strain muscles. To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. The HR 100 Heart Rate Monitor can help target the proper level of approximately 65%-85% of your maximum heart rate.

Omron HJA-301 Pace and Distance Tracker, Yellow Review

I wonder how many people rating the device here use a pedometer device day in and day out. I have been trying to use one consistently for the past year (still not perfect) in order to see the amount of walking I do on a daily basis and see general trends. That is what I use this device for, and for that… it works GREAT.

I put it into my pocket and forget about it. I am SOOO tired of the pedometers that strap to my belt (and not at all to shorts without belts), so this pedometer was a truly welcome change. I have broken the clip-ons several times getting caught on a door ledge, etc. This sensor does not need to be aligned a certain way (many clip on pedometers) and so can be dropped into a pocket. It is far more accurate than the clip on devices I have used in a similar price range (I compared and contrasted the step counting a few times and this one was clearly better).

I find I am more likely to use something like this device that reduces the hassle level of using it.

I am docking it a 1 start for some kind of funky issue with the clock. The clock mattes as it calculates steps per day and automatically resets (and keeps a history) each night. This is a problem if the clock resets itself for unknown reasons (which has happened to me twice)…. so, the history feature is fantastic as long as the clock doesn’t reset. That way I can transfer my steps to a spreadsheet I keep every few days instead of needing to every day (again, unless the clock messes up).

In summary… I found this to be great convenient device with one issue noted above.

Omron Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale Review

I was excited to get this scale. It’s my first scale that does more than tell you how much you weigh. I don’t really have a way to tell how accurate the weight reading is. But I do know that it’s consistent. I’ve tried all sorts of different tests: Weighing myself multiple times, recalibrating the scale each time, weighing myself with shoes, then without shoes, then weighing the shoes to see if me + shoes = me wearing shoes, etc. etc. The numbers always seem to come out the way they should.

The same goes for the other readings – I have no way of knowing how accurate they are. But across a few days, resting metabolism varies by no more than 10-15 calories, skeletal muscle and body fat stay within 1%, visceral fat is always the same number, and BMI only varies slightly with day-to-day weight changes.

It’s been a little under three weeks so far with the scale, so I haven’t really had it long enough to see a significant trend forming based on my recent exercise regimen. But being able to see all of those values really keeps your behavior in check. Every time you see one of the values change for the better, it helps to renew your resolve. I’ve got a lot of room to improve, and I think this scale is really going to help me maintain my focus.

In my opinion, it’s worth double what I paid for it. I only wish (manufacturers, take note!) that there was more you could do with the memory function. It keeps 90 days worth of data for each user profile, but you can only view today, yesterday, last week, last month, and 90 days ago. I’d like to see a little USB port in there where you could put a memory stick and it would download a CSV or other delimited text file containing your history. It would be a simple matter to import the file into a spreadsheet application to view charts and graphs of your progress.

Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer Review

I’ve been using this device for two weeks now and I’m very happy with it. At first I encountered the time bug which either resets your time or makes it jump several hours.

I finally found the cause. I’ve been keeping my Omron in the same pocket as my mobile phone and it seemed to be affecting it somehow.

I moved it to the other pocket and it’s been running without problems ever since.

It’s very small (much smaller than I expected) and light and does the job very well.

Highly recommended!
