The screen goes into a sleep mode to save on the battery. If you hit any of the buttons, the screen comes back on and you can scroll through all the different screens to get to whatever data you want. It still collects data even when the screen is in save mode. With that said, I think this is the best pedometer I have owned. I have another Omron (HJ-150). It is a very basic model and extremely accurate. It has been a year since I bought it and it has started acting quirky. I think it just needs a new battery, but I wanted to try a thinner model, so rather than buy another battery I opted to try the HJ-303. I could not be happier. <br /> <br />Pros <br />-Thin <br />-Can be worn anywhere on the body, even in a pocket <br />-No annoying clicking sound <br />-Spot on when it comes to counting steps <br />-Shows: total steps for the day, steps you took which were moderate and the amount of time you took to walk those moderate steps, calories, time, distance walked, 7 days of step data, and has a trip mode to show you accumulated steps over a period of time. <br />-Easy to set up <br />-Screen is easy to read <br />-Buttons are easy to push <br />-It comes with a leash, so it won't get lost if it falls off <br /> <br />Cons <br />-The waistband clip is a little thicker than I would like. <br />-The battery seemed DOA, but when I popped it out and put it back in, the pedometer came on with no problem. <br /> <br />I found the Omrons to be very accurate, even when I shake one like a maraca, it does not add steps. This is not the case for three other pedometers I own, which are now collecting dust. I did happen to find mine at Academy for about $28 with tax, so I felt better about not spending $40 on a pedometer. If you are looking for more than a basic model, and want fabulous accuracy, then this is one is the pick of the litter.

Just got the Omron HJ-303 Pedometer and so far it's pretty good, however; I do miss the hundredths digit (second place behind the decimal) on the HJ-303. My old HJ-112 had the tenths and hundredths digits for slightly more accurate distance readings. I guess it'll take some getting used to not having that second place behind the decimal when checking the distance on the HJ-303.

It records better than most because of the tri-axis. Rating: 5 / 5 Am enjoying this pedometer more than any others I have used. It records better than most because of the tri-axis.

It is easy to set and seems to do what I want it to do. I haven't had a chance to use it that much, but am looking forward to being able to keep better track of my walking efforts.
