After approximately 16 months, my highly rated Omron pedometer was deemed unworthy to repair by the Omron representative. They stated that the pedometers generally last one to two years. Thinking I would just get another, I hesitated and then I saw the Accusplit recommended in one of my magazines.
Comparison:
The Accusplit has more features-steps, aerobic steps,distance and calories, than my Omron HJ-112.
Accusplit also has a cover to protect the screen.
Accusplit attached easily and more securely.
My Omron used to pop off quite often and it did take a great deal of abuse but the Accusplit seems more stable, compact and more easily readable. The Omron does have a seven day memory base of steps, aerobic steps and a clock face.
Averaging at least 3 miles each day, aerobic and hill walking, plus regular walking, I attempted to set the step stride as best I could. In both pedometers, this is very difficult and stride varies with speed, intensity, plus everyday walking about.
So I set my average stride to my most physical endeavors to get a base count of my activity.
If the Accusplit holds up at least as long as the Omron, I would recommend the Accusplit all in all. I will update this review as the time nears Omron's 14 month demise.
BTW Accusplit is warranted for 1 year, free of charge, just like the Omron.
Unlike the Omron, it extends this warranty to five years with a 12 dollar service charge. Think most people might elect to replace their pedometer as they are not very expensive.
