Amazon.com Product Description
The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer. 
A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger. | The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calories burned during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled. The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand. The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Q&A - Pedometers
Does it matter where the pedometer is placed or attached?
The HJ-150 and 151 Pedometer must be positioned correctly. Attach the unit to your belt or to the top of your waistband. The unit must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function correctly. The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer can also be placed in your pocket or purse.

 Excellent value. November 22, 2009
John H. Henderson (Las Cruces, NM, USA)
In trying to live a healthier lifestyle, I was curious about how much walking I do every day, and researched pedometers. I asked for this for Christmas last year and received it as a gift. I was additionally pleased when a Consumer Reports shortly thereafter listed it as a best buy.
I chose this unit over the less expensive models because of its two axis accelerometer vs. a single axis for the less expensive models. This means that you can carry it in a larger variety of orientations and still have it work correctly. I see now that Omron offers a three-axis model Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer. I do not think this was available a year ago, or I would have likely asked for it instead. The only orientation in which the the HJ-112 will not work is with its body oriented parallel to the ground - unfortunately the orientation in which you would hold it to read it, so you either must stop reading or lose some steps while looking at it. I've also seen pedometers that clip to your shoelaces. I think that would be handy - when you have your shoes on, you have your pedometer, and it's out of the way. The fact that the HJ-112 won't work in this orientation precludes using it in this way, but its size would likely render it a bit unwieldy on the shoe. Anyway, with the two-axis accelerometer, you can pretty much toss this in a purse, backpack or pocket, and have it work, while a single-axis model typically needs to be attached solely to the hip.
The accuracy on counting steps is amazing. As an engineer, I wonder how the algorithms work that determine the number of steps. Clearly, it has to collect data for a few steps to determine the cadence, and then it starts counting. Do not worry however, it adds in those first steps so you don't miss anything.
The biggest disappointment has been the battery life. It has no power switch, so is effectively on all of the time. I don't know if it uses more power when counting steps or now. I wore it religiously for a few months after getting it, but after a while, mostly used it only when hiking. The original battery lasted about eight or nine months. Changing the battery loses your time, and step length settings, and requires a small jeweler's screwdriver to remove the battery. I don't know why the designers felt this necessary. The unit does some with a flat metal screwdriver. Of course, nine months and a move across the country later, I don't know where that is.
I was able to confuse the HJ-112 by bike riding with it. I did this experiment a year ago, so don't remember the exact outcome, but it seemed to either double or half the number of "steps" taken while pedalling. Just be aware if you are getting on and off a bike.
Omron now has the Hj-113 Pocket Pedometer. I cannot tell from the specs how it really differs from the HJ-112 except that it has one fewer button. In my opinion, many consumer electronic devices suffer from too few buttons, requiring difficult-to-remember sequences and multiple functions. I don't know if that the case with the HJ-113. They look awfully similar, so I doubt you can go wrong with either.
My druthers? Other than longer battery life, I can always wish it to be smaller, but I don't know if that's possible with the two-axis sensor design. It's size is one reason I quit carrying it regularly. Although it'll work in a pocket, the buttons are easily pushed, and I'm concerned about it getting scratched up with change, pens, pocketknives and various other pocket residents, so I typically wear it with its clip-on, snap-in cradle, and clip the lanyard to the edge of pocket, because it can, and on rare occasions, does, get knocked out of its cradle. When hiking, I just clip it to the shoulder strap on my daypack and it works wonderfully. Of course, my other druther would be a three-axis model, but Omron now covers that. At this point, however, I don't feel that it adds enough advantage to upgrade. The other Omron product worth mentioning is the Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software which you need to step up to if you feel you need one that can download data to a computer.

I purchased this pedometer after watching my friend's work very well for almost 2 years. No joke! I have these in the past, but they were the of the electronic variety and those types weren't the most accurate. I like this model because it works no matter where you put it, on your belt, in your pocket, or in your purse, it works. It counts steps, and once you calibrate the model it also tells you how far you walked, and then it will tell you how many aerobic steps you have taken.
This pedometer is packed full of features, a clock, it logs your steps for the past seven days along with everything you need to accurately log your steps. I can't say enough good things about this pedometer. Looking for a reliable pedometer that is easy to use, look no further!
works well.. November 21, 2009

I bought one and loved it then bought another for my partner. I think it keeps an accurate record of my daily steps, both aerobic and regular. Good price, great product.

I have own severl pedometer. This is one of the best one on the market. High quailty and I have drop this several times and had no problems afterwards.
 Loved it until it stopped working for no reason November 18, 2009
Mally (Atlanta, GA)
This was a great, easy to use, reliable pedometer for 1.5 years. Then one day, out of the blue, it just quit registering steps. Very disappointing but I'll probably buy another one because I liked it so much.
