Omron Walking Style Pro I have been trying to get healthier and lose a bit of weight recently. I don't like to diet so although I am watching what I eat my main aim is to increase the amount of exercise I do. Walking is a great form of exercise as well as being cheap and unless it is bucketing down rain I usually find it enjoyable. I have in the past owned a number of different pedometers and this has been the best of the bunch, it is simple to use and it is pretty accurate in its results. Of course with all pedometers there is a level of inaccuracy but this pedometer uses sensor technology to record your movement rather than a ...  Read the complete review

I have used a few different types of pedometer in the past, from a quite expensive Weight Watchers one that a friend gave me, to very cheap ones that were not accurate at all and would either count steps when I wasn't do anything, or not register the ones I DID take. I first saw the Omron Walking Style Pedometer for sale on Amazon for around £20 and although it sounded great according to the reviews and ratings, I didn't really want to use my Dooyoo Amazon voucher up on one little device, so I didn't buy it at the time. Browsing on eBay though, I found this new and boxed Omron pedometer for sale for just £9.40, so I thought that that was quite a saving and I ...  Read the complete review

I really do try to keep fit and to exercise as much as I can. I'll take the stairs at work and walk to a friend's house rather than drive whenever possible. I do like to know how much good it is all doing me though which is why I recently invested in my OMRON step counter. My husband and I each got one from Amazon about a month ago and they have been our constant companions ever since. I did discover that you could pay a little or a great deal for this type of pedometer. The OMRON step counters each cost us £17.24 reduced from £30. I thought this was pretty good value especially as they qualified for Amazon's free delivery. As sixty six Amazon reviewers had ...  Read the complete review

10000 steps a day sounds an awful lot to do, especially when you work out that it takes a good six miles to achieve this, and that's if you have a pace of nearly a yard in length. At work at the start of the year, we had a talk from a wellbeing guru, who recommended taking up regular exercise and starting something new. I've always enjoyed walking quite fast, but thought that I would now try to do a good brisk walk every day, and so far have managed to keep it up. I've had a few pedometers over the years, all of which were cheap and cheerful until I heard about the Omron Walking Style Pedometer (not the snappiest of names!). Instead of the usual £5 or so, this ...  Read the complete review

So the government say we should be walking 10,000 steps a day. With a pedometer its easy to see if you are achieving this recommended goal. I have had a few cheaper pedometers, one free from Walkers and another cheapo one from the Avon catalogue. I bought this one because the previous two either kept sticking on a number or moving on every bounce or small movement. Although this one isnt totally fool proof it is much, much better. This pedometer also has a few additional features to the cheaper types. * It uses sensors to measure steps meaning it is more reliable. * It has a lithium battery so is long lasting. * It has a clock and ...  Read the complete review
