OmronTri-Axis Pedometer with USB Plug

This is a great little product that helps you keep tract of all your walking and records it on computer. It was easy to set up and no problems so far.

After about two months, it stopped recording steps. I can view the steps for the last 7 days it was working. But it won't record any new data.Also, when I plugged it into my PC the first time, I got a virus for the first time in years. Now the PC won't even recognize the device.

Edit: Dropping One Star (6/3/2015)After seeing the little icon "T" flashing, I attempted to download the information according to their procedures. For whatever reason, the Omron Tri-Axis does not seem to want to share the information with my computer. I've tried numerous times. The computer recognizes that the drive is there but downloading the data hasn't happened. I'll attempt to do so a few more times and eventually just call it a day.I'm not sure that I should do a review based on just one day's usage, but here goes:· Setting up was much easier than I had anticipated. Even after screwing up my height and continuing on I was able to get back to the proper spot to make the necessary correction without losing information already inputted.· The pedometer tracks your movement for four seconds then begins adding steps. Not to worry, steps taken during those four seconds are added as well. Downside, if you do movement that DOESN'T last at least four seconds, it's lost to you and those steps do no count for anything.· The clip is secure to the pedometer but it actually did slip off my belt once while at home. If a leash or tether is provided, I sure didn't see it. While hiking the pedometer felt secure and seemed to do exactly what it was supposed to do.· The instructions seem more complicated than they actually are. I believe it's a case if too much info in the form of written instructions AND diagrams.Overall, I'mvery happy with this purchase. I had considered several far more expensive items. In some respects, newer isn't necessarily always better.

After having the pedometer for a few days, I decided to plug it in and utilize the online tracking feature... Upon visiting the site, I found the message "omronfitness.com expired on 03/01/2021 and is pending renewal or deletion."I see that date is pretty recent, but it's a bummer to find that part of what sold me on the item is no longer kept up with. Another bother was the fact that the battery in the pedometer needed replacement before I could get started.Despite all this, the pedometer works well and was cheap. You get what you pay for.

I tried this pedometer during a walking program study I volunteered for, and when the month was complete, I sadly had to return it. Liking it so much, I decided to purchase one for myself, and so did others participating in the study. I ended up buying (4) Omrom HJ-323I units, and we all decided to continue the walking program on our own. The unit is so easy to use, and offers so much information. It's a great product.

This is not good for me. First off, it is not accurate. I went on a short walk using both my wife's pedometer and this one. Counting off 1220 steps my wife's read 1221 while this one read 1184, missing 136 steps. Wearing it casually around the house and yard yesterday was even worse, reading less than 80% of the steps my wife's read. And the aerobic reading didn't even register.From a user point of view, the buttons are way too small and way too difficult to press. I didn't bother with the usb or softwareI am replacing an Omron HJ-112 which is becoming too inaccurate, but has been solid as rock for 10 years (even surviving a dip in the ocean and a couple of washings). I hope I can return this, but if not I'll just toss it and get something usable.

It's convenient to just plug in with the USB plug, however it doesn't seem to be keeping an accurate count of my steps, especially my aerobic steps. It has me doing 10,000 plus steps in 60 minutes while my other pedometer (Omron HJ-720IT) has it at 8,000+ in 60 minutes. I've tried it in various positions - front, back, side, front pocket, back pocket. It just isn't accurate. I've had it a little over a month, and today was the closest to my usual pedometer. It was attached to my waist band front and center. Everything is great except accuracy which is the most important factor. Maybe I have a defective one. Design, shape, size, USB plug are all +++s.

Had two of the old style and yes this is more accurate. I had to do some fine turning on the length of pace and now it's dead accurate. Checked it on the high school track.I am running windows 7 and 8.1 and had no issues with logging into my account and uploading the data. It works very easy. In fact you can upload from different computers and it goes direct to my account. Recommended. USB works nicely.
