I bought this pedometer after reading many reviews of this and similar pedometers. After using it for about 100 days (Jan 19, 2010-May 2, 2010) it suddenly stopped recording steps accurately. Luckily I was quickly able to put my hands on the paperwork as I remembered there was a 1 year warranty on it. Well, well, well. When I called today to get the specifics on where and how to return it, I was told I had to send a check for $8.00 to cover return postage. Paying what I believe is a excessive fee for postage return for a 1-oz item really hit me the wrong way.
I probably would have kept my thoughts to myself as I rarely review products I buy on Amazon except for the fact that I ran to Walmart this morning to make sure the battery wasn't the problem. It wasn't. However, the lady who checked the battery for me said, "That's the third one of this model I've seen in a week." She also said replacing the battery didn't fix those pedometers either.
I thought "planned obsolescence" meant the product was supposed to tear up the day AFTER the warranty expired.Get more detail about Omron HJ-303 GoSmart Tri-Axis Pocket Pedometer.
