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.

I only bought this for MS Word 2007, which works worse than the MS Word 2000 I already have. MS Word 2007 messed up all tables I had put in 2000 documents; I could not copy playlists from iTunes into a document (very easy w. 2000); several of the commands had changed unnecesarily; etc. However, 2000 often give message “… has encountered a problem and must shut down …” This only happened in 2007 upon trying to copy the iTunes playlist.
My next computer is likely to be Mac & I intend to stear clear of MS products whenever possible.

Have been able to use it for cycling also. I can now know the milage of some of my favorite running routes and more accurately keep up with my weekly milage for training.
