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).

 I like it November 7, 2009
A. Clausen (San Ramon, CA USA)
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.
 Small, simple, easy to use, accurate, to name a few. November 2, 2009
Frank J. Herron (Swedesboro, NJ)
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.
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..
Sweeeet! Pedometer (and it does not time out) October 8, 2009
V. Canfield (San Antonio)
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.
Best Pedometer Ever October 3, 2009
E. Stewart
This pedometer is the best one we have ever had and we have had lots of them. We bought ours in June 2009. I got two of them to track our daily walking activity. We walk a miniumum of 10K steps per day and the Omron tracks it very accurately. It is small, about 3 by 1 1/4 inches, weighs 31 grams with the lanyard and clip attached, is easy to carry in our pocket or attach to our clothing or belt, and automatically goes into battery saving mode by turning off the display after a couple of minutes. The display is reactivated when touching one of the three buttons, memo-up arrow, mode-single dot, and CLR-down arrow. There is a recessed reset button on the back that is used to change or reset any of the options or the time. It can easily be pressed with a paper clip or the tip of a lead pencil.
We use ours every day. The only time we really take them off is at night. We compare our steps every once in a while to see who is ahead for the day. It is silly but fun and keeps us motivated to walk more. I used ride a bike but not so much lately because the Omron does not register steps when biking :-).
Likes
Accuracy - we found it to be very accurate in measuring steps and distance. I confirmed it with my iPhone app that measures and tracks distance and speed using the built-in iPhone GPS. In a 2 mile walk there was very little difference in the distance or number of steps walked. The Omron needed to be calibrated with the length of our stride and then it accurately measured distance traveled. It was also very accurate at determining when we had taken a step no matter how we were holding the Omron. It does not track non-steps because it knows that steps are rhythmic and will not even consider any steps taken until at least 4 "steps" are recognized by the device and these 4 steps are then added to the step count in addition to current steps that are being taken. It does not continuously update the display with each step; instead it only updates the screen periodically to conserve battery life.
Medium steps - It counts the number of steps we take between about 2.5 and 3.5 mph, which is always smaller than the total number of steps. This is very useful because my wife's Weight Watcher charts only count medium steps. We try to get at least 10k steps each day and usually about 7-8k of them are medium steps.
Multiple displays and history - It provides 7 days of history for each of the displays except the trip display. The displays are: Step count, current time, moderate step count, moderate minutes, calories used, distance traveled, trip steps, trip days. We can see the current day values for all of these displays as well as yesterday, 2 days ago, etc., up to 7 days back. The trip steps and trip days is used for tracking total number of steps and the number of days it took to get those steps. This last display can be reset at anytime if we want to keep track our total steps taken or use it to track the steps on a specific trip. The counter only goes to 999,999 so it is not good for tracking total steps over a long period. The display values reset to zero each night at midnight to count the steps taken on the new day. The trip displays do not reset until we do it manually.
Customizable - There are several values we can change to get accurate information out of the displays. These values can be changed by pressing the recessed reset button on the back. It first asks for the current time, weight, height, and stride length. Instructions are provided to easily determine our stride. If any of these values ever need updated pressing reset again will take us through the screens with the current value of the particular option displayed first.
Multiple attachment methods - It comes with a belt clip, lanyard, and clip that goes on the end of the lanyard. The belt clip is small and the Omron slides in and out of the clip vertically and is quite snug. The other clip is very unique. I had never seen one like it and when I learned how it worked I wondered why all clips are not made this way.
Excellent customer support - I had a problem with mine. The time kept resetting without my intervention. I opened an online ticket and received a quick response and fix for the problem. Turns out I had my pedometer and Blackberry Pearl in the same pocket and the RF from the phone reset the time on the Omron once in a while. They fixed it in a heartbeat after I have been experiencing this problem for several weeks.
Low cost - This was a very low cost item for the functions it provides and the 3-axis capability, which we found very helpful. I actually bought a 3rd one to have just in case one of the other two goes bad.
Suggestions
Separate out trip from total steps - Right now you must pick between total steps walked by simply never resetting this value and trip steps. Although the display says trip steps it can be used for total steps walked for any duration until it reaches 999,999 steps. The total steps display should have an additional digit so that 10m steps could register. We reach 999,999 in about 3 months so an additional digit on the step counter would allow almost 3 years of total steps walked.
Add more days in the memory - There are currently only 7 days of memory. Increasing this to at least a month would be very helpful. If we could also just hold down the up/down arrow keys to scroll it would make it easier to scroll through more days.
Add total moderate steps and days display - trip steps counts all steps taken since the value was last reset. Adding another display for total moderate would be helpful for those who want to achieve an average number of moderate steps over time.
Date setting - It would be helful to provide a date setting so that you could see the date and day of week for any prior period that was saved in the history.
Make it smaller - there is unneeded space between the display, the buttons, and the outer edge of the device. Although it's pretty small and light now, a smaller device would be even better, The battery compartment can be shifted to the middle rather than on the bottom of the back.
