Yes, the Omron has a clock and resets itself at midnight. That is one of the many features I love about it. I don't know the difference between the HJ105 and HJ112, but I LOVE my 112! It was just under $20 at Walmart, but you have to look in the pharmacy area of the store. The ones they have in the sporting goods area are mostly sportline and I haven't had much luck with accuracy with those.
My old one was an Oregon Scientific and I loved it, too. It was pretty accurate and it had a built-in radio (it came with earphones). It was about $20 also, but the clip was not designed very well (it just slipped over my belt). As it got used, it stretched wider until it was so weak, it just snapped. I much prefer the ones with the pincher-style clip. The key is finding one that is ACCURATE for your lifestyle. I wear mine from the minute I get out of bed (I clip it to my robe) until I go to bed. The only steps it doesn't get are the ones from those middle of the night bathroom runs. I have measured how many steps that is and I add that many on when I total for the day (yes, I'm that anal about how many steps I walk!).
Anyway...I've been on the computer long enough this morning! I MUST go do some chores AND walk!
Hi Michele and thanks for the info. My OS does not have a radio and the clip is SO tight I have a hard time getting it onto my pants but then it does not fall off. But yesterday it actually took me at least 5 minutes to get the thing ON there! I never thought of attaching it to my nightshirt at hip level... will give that a try! I guess I am going to have to take a trip to Walmart! But I was just looking on eBay and there are some great deals there too so maybe I will bid on one. It would be good to have a spare anyway before I go on the cruise... I would be REALLY upset if something happened to mine and I could not get another one esp. with all that walking I plan to do LOL. Have to head off to church and then I think all of you have shamed...er I mean inspired me... to go out walking LOL
Good morning, good morning, good Sunday morning, everybody!!!
Wyllen! I'm so glad you decided to jump on in here! This is a great party! You're really off to a great start, too! I've travelled I-90 a lot, too, driving back and forth from Boston to various points in the Mid-West and back! I'd love, one day, to do the other half and head on out to the West Coast! Glad we're doing it virtually now!
I'm another HJ-112 fan -- have loved it since the moment I got it out of the box! Feel naked if it's not in my pocket. Sadly for me, I wasn't nearly as lucky on the price as some of you were (I paid $35) but it still was worth every penny!
Misti, you continue to amaze me with all your walking. You're aces!
Wow wow wow, Michele, 19K steps!!! Amazing!!!
And look at Lydia go!!! Over 3 miles, you are fantastic, lady!
Whoops, there goes Dee, zooming about on her blades! Go, Dee, go!
As for me, I just barely missed the mile... 1,919 steps . But today is another day, it's supposed to get wayyyyyy up to maybe 45 degrees and it's sunny, so I will probably be enticed outdoors for a bit of a stroll!
Great job, everyone! I'm so happy to see this project take off!!! Wheeeee!
Welcome wyllenn! This is great fun, I had actually gotten very lax about posting, and not very motivated, but decided a couple of days ago to move up my marathon to one that is run near my hometown on Thanksgiving weekend, so I have to get going. This is such a good kick in the rear for me, and informational and inspirational too. Hope you enjoy the trip as much as I am. Thanks to all you ladies for getting me back off my bottom and on my feet. Unfortunately, I have to go do some housework now before I can zoom around on my blades, but see you all on the road this afternoon!
Whew...just got back and I went for a 2.5 mile walk ...but hang on hope to have my 10000 steps in today! ......Welcome Wyllenn you will love your new pedo. I absolutely love mine and Im with you Michele I clip it on my undies the moment I get out of bed. Don't know how I walked without it!..Really works to motivate me to move a lot more....bye for now! blyn
Wyllen! Great having you! Thanks for adding the miles! We are off to a fantastic start with 15 people yay!!!!!
