Although they haven’t changed the model number it appears the device currently shipping no longer has a reset button on the front. That button would reset the device to zero for today, like if you wanted to measure a particular hike.

If you look at the product picture that Amazon has, that is a correct representation. However, if you look at the user pictures, or google for a manual you see that previously the product had four buttons on the front, one of which was that reset button.

I’m guessing some people were pressing that button by mistake and losing part of their day’s activities so Omron decided to remove it. That’s fine, except now if you want to reset the display to zero you have to stick a pin in the reset hole on the back, and then enter all your data again…time, stride length, weight.

Does this matter. To me it’s a pain in the neck, but to most of the people who use the device it may be just fine since what they really want is to measure their total activity for each day, not a particular walk.

(Of course for a single walk, you just look at the display before you leave and subtract that reading when you are done.)

Seems like Omron could have designed a different reset button that was harder to press by accident instead of eliminating it entirely.

Whatever, it’s not a huge deal, I just thought people should be aware of this.

Aside from that the device seems fine, and that is covered by lots of other reviews, so I won’t repeat them. I just gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of my own needs. I also think they should have changed the model number when they removed that button.

the product works perfect and is very cheap great alternative to the 60 $ cables that best buy has

“The help” is the name given to the African-American women who worked for white women and their families.in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. These women do all the cooking, the serving, the sweeping, the laundry, the polishing, and the scrubbing fro these families. They also raise the children, showing them love that they don’t always get from their real mothers. These women work for many different families, starting around age 15 and not stopping until they can’t leave their house. When Miss Skeeter comes home, looking for something she cares about so she can become a writer, she decides she wants to interview the help and here their stories. The help see and hear everything, but if they step out of line, they could be fired, and sharing their “white ladies” secrets is as unforgivable as stealing. The tolls of a white lady seeking revenge are far worse than anything her husband could do. And Miss Skeeter could be kicked out of the league for being an activist, costing her all her friends and wrecking her chance to find a husband and appease her mother. And who has time to write a book, anyway, with so much to worry about here in really life? But if it works, it’s gonna change some things in Jackson, Mississippi.
This book is captivating, IMPOSSIBLE to put down. Written from three different points of view, you get versions of the story from 22-year-old Miss Skeeter, Aibileen, a maid raising her 17th white child and working for Miss Leefolt, and Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, and a brilliant cook with a loose tongue. The dialogue, written with the accents of the time, is engaging and amusing, as long as you reread certain lines to make sure you didn’t trip along the way. Many cheers and much applause to Kathryn Stockett for this fantastic book.

This is my first Apple anything and I got the Ipod 32G 3rd generation touch. Downloaded the 4.0 software for free. Shipping was quick even selecting the free shipping. I can get Yahoo and Juno emails which was important to me. I just use a few apps but they are quick. The music sounds good with an aftermarket headset I had. I put it in a DLO leather hip case which looks sleek and keeps it cushioned for airline travel. Happy so far.

This is the best carpet cleaner ive ever used, the most effective. I even learned to live with the rather mundane task of refilling and emptying the containers because it really made a big difference in my carpets. However, after maybe a year of every other month use-the clean surge brushes stopped spinning. I noticed one day they werent working, but went ahead and finished my cleaning..well, the next day-there were stripes all over my living room floor where the solution was sprayed into the carpet, but because the brushes didnt rotate-it didnt clean properly! I have since lent it to my sisterinlaw who also had the same experience. The only useful part of the cleaner is the hand tool now-which stinks because this truly is the best cleaner out there. Ive owned the bissell steam clean-and this blew it away!

My daughter’s multiple readings of the “Conversations with God” series was and is a major component and ally in what will definitely be her life-long struggle to “not pick up” drugs or alcohol. Who knows what may happen next but she has been sober for four years, and the series has visibly more than once rescued and maintained her sobriety. There will always be a copy for her in my house. She often gives hers to addicts she feels are trying to stop their habits.

I have a little problem with some of the author’s statements and wonder if sometimes he confused his own thoughts with statements from his conversations. For what the series has done for my daughter, however, this “minor disagreement” does not matter at all.

I had brought a timex pedometer and at times it would not calculate my steps. I have had no problems with this one. You can put it in your pocketbook or pocket and it still calculates. I love it, I wear it everyday.

these guys sound great and great to look at, whats not to buy? if you like to listen to them then get this.

This thing is cute. I think for smaller ages like my son whos 4 months old its fine.. because all he tries to do is suck on it.. but once they get a little older and start to actually shake it, OUCH. I tried it to make sure it was safe.. Its not the leaves will hit your hands and whatever other body part on your child and it hurts.. alot.
Very hard and theyre too long.
So if thyre only in the, I want to try eat everything in site stage its fine.. but once they start to shake things, id just not let them play with it anymore.

It seems to stay in place.
It makes it easier to remove it from the dash when exiting.
