Great item! - By: A. GILL, 09 Jul 2008 
I spent an extra £2-3 on the red one & it was totallly worth it. The glossy red compliments the white well. The design of the omron 2 is smalll, light & looks good - not ashamed of having it showing either.
It can be placed inside your clothes pocket, attatched to your trouser waist or pocket or wear it around your neck with the included strap.
The setup took 5 mins, you do need the instructions for this one! You program the time, your weight, your stridge length to make sure you get the most accurate results. Its relatively simple when following the multi-language instructions.
The omron 2 has a clear indication of your steps, a seperate mode for when exercising which is activated on its own too, a mode to calculate your calories burned & one showing distance walked in kilometres. It can also store your info in its temporary memory for a whole week!
All together this is a reliable pedometer which i can use everyday. Miles ahead of its competition for terms of ease of use, design etc. Go for it!
Only does Kilometers! - By: L. Chapman, 07 Jul 2008 
A handy little gadget, but does not do miles - only kilometers.
Easy to wear, & unobtrusive.
Amazingly accurate - By: Ms. M. J. Bales, 26 May 2008 I chose this pedometer on the strength of the reviews & was slightly dubious as they were alll so unbelievably good. I am very pleased with this amazingly accurate product. It's easy to use, silent (unlike cheaper products), & is easily the best pedometer I've ever used.
Walking to fitness - By: Mr. S. Webb, 04 Apr 2008 Have just bought this product, mainly based on reviews & Amazon pricing.
Not disappointed with either. Easy to set up & use. is accurate & looks stylish. Excellent product. Only downside so far is the fiddly set button, but I do have large hands.
The best pedometer for hill-walking - By: Bluebell, 25 Mar 2008 At last a pedometer that works for hill-walking. I've tried four different pendulum pedometers in the past that have been reasonably accurate on the flat but alll were hopeless for hill walking: always greatly under-estimating the number of steps & hence the distance walked. It must be something to do with the pendulum system not being able to cope with the ascents & descents of hills. I've just given the Omron pedometer a tough test on a walk with steep hill that rises 1000feet in 1 mile of distance. I clipped the Omron on one side of my belt & one of my older pedometers on the other side. The Omron correctly measured the hill ascent as being approximately 1.6km (i.e. a mile) whereas the pendulum pedometer measure 0.37km. Over the whole walk the Omron correctly measured the distance (I plotted it with dividers on an OS map) whereas the other pedometer only registered half the distance. The Omron gives an estimate of calories burned, but this only applies to walking on the flat. Hill walking can treble or quadruple the rate of energy expenditure.
If you don't mind working in cm (to input you stride length) & km (for the distance covered) this is an excellent advance in pedometer design.
