News Flash:
Omron recently released the Omron HJ-203 and I predict it will soon become the most popular pedometer. For several years, the Omron HJ-112 has been considered the best pedometer. After seeing the features and benefits of the Omron HJ-203, I have no doubt it will replace the Omron HJ-112.

The best pedometer can be found in two categories:
- the “Step and Distance Counters” category which are placed in the pocket or worn on the waist band.
- the “Speed and Distance Monitors (GPS)” category which are worn on the wrist.
Consumer Reports Health.org rated pedometers in a study in 2009. The study was simple since the attributes were Accuracy, Ease of Use, and Features. Here are the best pedometers in the two categories:
