I agree with all the positive comments already made. The only thing I have to add is that I purchased the product for the heart rate monitor, and I found it is nearly impossible to read while running. All the other display numbers are large. The numbers for the BPM are tiny. They are almost impossible to read when you are standing still. The IronMan one has 4 windows in their display, one with large BPM numbers, and, I’ve been told, that the display can be changed for preference. I may check that out, but, in the meantime, this is great for all the other reasons mentioned.

This toy is very easy to grasp. Makes noise but not to much. It has some give to it. It does not come apart but it looks like it does.

I have used a pedometer on and off for years. When our office offered a fitness challenge, I knew I wanted to participate. The counting and tracking of steps was essential, so my search began for a reliable pedometer. I checked the local “mart” and sports stores, and did research online. I determined the Omron HJ-112 was the best choice. I carefully calibrated the essential information, and attached it to my pants. The first thing I noticed was that it did a good job of not mistakenly identifying random movement as steps which was a plus. I thought that I was getting an accurate reading until I realized it wasn’t actually counting all my steps. My daughter, who was also participating in the challenge, commented that I don’t have much hip movement when I walk and that’s why it wasn’t working properly. She was right! Her pedometer, which cost significantly less, did a far better job of accurately counting her steps.

Another issue I have with this pedometer is the size. It is bulky and less than discreet. A diabetic family member remarked that it resembles a blood glucose meter or insulin pump. I believe the unwieldy size contributes to the fact that it does not stay securely clipped to clothing. I have lost it repeatedly which is annoying, and contributes to the less than accurate step totals.

I would not recommend this pedometer, nor would I purchase it again.

The Office Home and Student is perfect for what I needed. I have had Office before and never used the Publishing or other parts of the full package. I believe that this is the perfect blend of programs that fit my needs and at a lower price point. Some of the new features in the Windows Word and Excel are worth the upgrade.
