 nice, but doesn't count aerobic steps well Sep 02, 2010
I purchased this pedometer in July! It's really easy to use and very lightweight. I like it a lot, but have noted it will fall off your belt if you don't make sure it's on there very tightly. Also, it doesn't count all your aerobic steps, yesterday it didn't count them for the first 3000 steps. But I still like it!
 Great accuracy - display defective - costly & hassle to return Sep 01, 2010
I purchased two of these early this summer. I found it to be easy to set up and very accurate. Within two weeks the digital readout started to malfunction leaving only a portion of the numbers legible. I paid for the return of it and another was sent to me that has worked well. The 2nd one, received as part of the original order, worked well for two months and then the same thing happened. Neither problem occurred after dropping it or other possible answers. I replaced the battery but the display continued to malfunction. When contacting the company, since it was under warranty, I was told I would need to send it back at my expense, pay another $8 for their costs and they highly recommended that I insure it as well. After realizing the cost I was incurring at this point was almost to the point of what I had paid originally - I decided to give up and try a different brand.
 Can't insert battery Aug 30, 2010
The screw for the battery compartment does not seem to be an isolated problem. The screw for the battery cover is an extremely small Phillips head. There is a flat piece of metal provided with a tab on each end. This supposed to be the screwdriver. Ordinarily this might work. But in this case the tab is too long to fit in the cross-slot. Therefore the screw cannot be removed so the battery can be inserted. I have jewelers screwdrivers but doubt they would work because the cross-slots are so small they appear nearly round. Makes it difficult to screw in or out.
It's a shame because the product looks and feels good. But with no battery it is no better than a paper weight, in fact not that good. It's not heavy enough to hold paper down.
There are MANY other ways to secure a battery compartment. Too bad they didn't choose one of them. I have sent this thing back to Amazon. Don't waste your time or money on this product.
 Very accurate! Aug 30, 2010
This is my 2nd HJ-112. The previous one worked for 2 years w/absolutely no problems. I didn't even have to change the battery for at least 18 months. The only reason I needed a new one is that I dropped the old one once too many times. I'm very pleased with this pedometer and feel like it's the most accurate brand and style I've owned.

No good Aug 29, 2010
I bought this pedometer thinking it could track my distance. It only measures the distance you run in relation to your stride length, not actaul mileage. Totally useless.
