With superior 3D Smart Sensor technology, Omron's Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer works anywhere you want to place it.
View larger.


The GOsmart™ Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer (HJ-303) is simple to use and easy to set-up. Best of all, it works in any position. It's the first GOsmart™ pedometer that accurately measures straight up and down, at an angle, on its side, and even completely flat.

It is more advanced than pedometers that use a simple pendulum design. The 3D Smart Sensor, the brain inside the GOsmart™, knows exactly when you're taking a step. It filters out non-walking movements so you know your step count is accurate.
What is Smart Sense Technology?
GOsmart™ Pedometers by Omron feature Smart Sense technology. Instead of using a simple pendulum mechanism (the clicking you hear on most pedometers), GOsmart™ pedometers use advanced acceleration sensors. These sensors know exactly when you are taking a step and filter out non-walking movements so you know your count is accurate.

Does it matter where the pedometer is placed or attached?
The new GOsmart™ Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer (HJ-303) is the most advanced GOsmart™ pedometer - it can be used at any angle even flat! Use in a pocket, purse/bag or on the hip in any direction.

What's the accuracy rate of Omron Pedometers?
The precision of the step counting is within +/- 5%.

What are moderate steps?
The HJ-151 and HJ-303 GOsmart™ pedometers separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace, 90 steps or more per minute.

Power and Dimensions
The HJ-303 uses 1 lithium battery (Included) that last with normal use for about 6 months. Package measures 3" x 1 3/8" x 1/2" inches (L x W x H) and weighs 1.0oz (battery included).

What's in the Box
Pedometer, holder, strap & clip, lithium battery, screwdriver, instruction manual

5 out of 5 stars Great pedometer   November 16, 2009
Patricia Fullerton
I bought this product to keep track of my walking and running on days I don't go to the gym. Trying to keep healthy and stay active. I found it very easy to use. The power down mode that turns the dispaly off to save the battery is very efficient. You just have to tap the mode button to turn the display on. Display is easy to read. The step count and total miles has been very accurate. However, when using the eleptycal equiptment at the gym, while accurately counting steps, it does not record it as "moderate". It does record walking briskly outside and on the treadmill as moderate. The safety clip is great to prevent loss. I have found it works on a belt and in my pocket. Would highly recommend it for accuracy, ease of use, easy to read and efficient.


4 out of 5 stars I like it   November 7, 2009

I like the pedometer, not so much that it blanks out. It is sometimes not wanted.
The form is not so practical, it has a retangular shape wich requires deep pockets.

The clear button could have been separated from the other buttons, it would have made mistakes less likely to happen.

It is worth the money, I have used all the other Omron pedometers this is the best.



5 out of 5 stars Small, simple, easy to use, accurate, to name a few.   November 2, 2009

This pocket pedometer is well made. Easy to use and works well. I use it everyday. Wish the instruction manual was more informative though. Kcal? What is this? I found that 1 kcal equals 1 calorie. Then why not put "cal" on the unit's display as well as the manual? Dumb. Still like the unit anyway.


4 out of 5 stars Nifty, but make sure you need a pedometer better than the HJ-112...   October 20, 2009

The Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer is similar to the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer, but it "works in any position at any angle."

It must be how I hold it in my pocket, but it gives me the same information my HJ-112 records: steps walked, miles covered, calories burned, "aerobic steps" (moderate, continuous walking), and a seven day memory. So there may be someone whose HJ-112 doesn't read accurately. Is this because it is in a purse? In a fanny pack? Tied to a shoelace? I don't know. The HJ-303 is slimmer, but those step totals for both models are the same for me. That's really a good thing, because I'm very pleased with my HJ-112. I am equally pleased with the HJ-303. So... unless you NEED your pedometer to "work in any position at any angle," I'd suggest choosing the one that you can get for the best price.

Since I have both, I've calibrated my original HJ-112 for a running pace, and the HJ-303 for a walking pace. I'll run 3 miles, and the pedometer will record about 2, so having both gives me an accurate distance total.

Now if I can just get these darn things to record my bicycling pedal strokes as well..



5 out of 5 stars Sweeeet! Pedometer (and it does not time out)   October 8, 2009

A couple of other reviewers seem to think the pedometer times out. The screen goes into a sleep mode to save on the battery. If you hit any of the buttons, the screen comes back on and you can scroll through all the different screens to get to whatever data you want. It still collects data even when the screen is in save mode. With that said, I think this is the best pedometer I have owned. I have another Omron (HJ-150). It is a very basic model and extremely accurate. It has been a year since I bought it and it has started acting quirky. I think it just needs a new battery, but I wanted to try a thinner model, so rather than buy another battery I opted to try the HJ-303. I could not be happier.

Pros
-Thin
-Can be worn anywhere on the body, even in a pocket
-No annoying clicking sound
-Spot on when it comes to counting steps
-Shows: total steps for the day, steps you took which were moderate and the amount of time you took to walk those moderate steps, calories, time, distance walked, 7 days of step data, and has a trip mode to show you accumulated steps over a period of time.
-Easy to set up
-Screen is easy to read
-Buttons are easy to push
-It comes with a leash, so it won't get lost if it falls off

Cons
-The waistband clip is a little thicker than I would like.
-The battery seemed DOA, but when I popped it out and put it back in, the pedometer came on with no problem.

I found the Omrons to be very accurate, even when I shake one like a maraca, it does not add steps. This is not the case for three other pedometers I own, which are now collecting dust. I did happen to find mine at Academy for about $28 with tax, so I felt better about not spending $40 on a pedometer. If you are looking for more than a basic model, and want fabulous accuracy, then this is one is the pick of the litter.
