Comments about Omron Go Smart Tri-Axis Pedometer:
Really accurate!...checked against my other Omron (0.1 mile accurate)it measures easliy within 1-5% difference..uses different formula to calc calories so may be shown lower than other devices. It measures 'moderate' steps to show aerobic exercise (vs just steps). Keeps last 7 days worth of data. The size is really a plus and the waist clip is beefy. Large numbers...just throw it in your pocket and forget about it. Everyone will go to the acccelerometer technology eventually and those that have already are much more expensive. Super device.

Comments about Omron Go Smart Tri-Axis Pedometer:
My primary use for a pedometer is for hiking. I like to know how far I have gone, and GPS systems are poor at this if you are hiking in canyons or forests or on trails with lots of switchbacks. This pedometer counts steps extremely accurately and flexibly. That is, it doesn't matter how it is oriented or where you carry it. It counts your steps correctly and doesn't get fooled if you are riding in a car. It has one HUGE WEAKNESS which could have so easily been overcome if Omron had thought just a little about uses other than weight loss. As CA said, you cannot reset the distance to zero except by resetting the machine and throwing away all data. That means needing to carry a paper clip and having to re-enter everything (height, weight, time, and stride length). So instead, as CA also said, it is easier to just note the reading at the start of the trail and do the subtraction. BUT, I am absent-minded and often forget to note my starting reading. And the resolution of the distance display is only 0.1 mile. It should be 0.01 or smaller.
I rated this a four because of its accuracy, insensitivity to orientation, appearance, light weight, and easily readable display. It could have been a 5+ with the addition of a distance reset button and one more digit on the distance display. What really galls me is that it HAS a reset button for the step counter. But zeroing the step counter DOES NOT ZERO THE DISTANCE!!!

Comments about Omron Go Smart Tri-Axis Pedometer:
This would be a great instrument for hikers to measure trail distances except for one fatal flaw...you can't reset the mileage record at will. It accumulates distance all day and then resets at midnight. If you want to measure trail legs, you have to note the mileage at the start and do the math at the end. A stupid programming design that severely limits the usefulness of the this otherwise accurate and useful instrument.

Comments about Omron Go Smart Tri-Axis Pedometer:
This little do-dad is superior to the old fashion clunkers that had to be on the belt just so.
Small and pocketable. I have enough on my belt already, so I drop it in my pocket and forget about.
Called Omron and told them what a superstar it was. Told them the only drawback was no case. At least no case when I bought mine when it first came out.

Comments about Omron Go Smart Tri-Axis Pedometer:
actually, this device does have a 'trip' odometer (steps not miles but can be easily converted)that allows 'leg' measurement...this action does not affect the daily total other than to add the additional steppage...a night light would a useful addition but this pedometer outperforms any of the others sold by REI...
