Welcome back, Lifestyle Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today
we are in the Lifestyle. In this video, two pedometer ****brands will be going
head to head. We have the Garmin and the Omron. Pedometers are a great way to track your physical
activity especially if your main form of exercise is walking or running. While this is the basic
function of pedometers, there are other models that offer a variety of other features designed
to help you stay in great shape. Of course, pedometers have been on the market for decades,
which explains why there are so many options available. If you are the type who ll only settle
for the best, then this video is just for you. In today s Brand Wars, we have picked our two
strongest brands to go head to head- The Garmin Forerunner and the Omron pedometer.
Both these brands have earned 5 badges from our team at trustedshoppingguide.com.
Stick around to see who ll be crowned champion in today s episode of brand wars!
If you are interested in the other pedometers that we reviewed, do check out our pedometer
review video linked below. If you want direct links to the products themselves,
all these links are also listed below too. So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these pedometers will be going toe to toe with is their ease of use.
You ll be using a pedometer while you run or walk so it would be best to have it safely
strapped to you during your exercise sessions. You ll also want it to be easy to navigate since
you ll usually find yourself adjusting its settings mid-jog.
The Garmin Forerunner straps on to you like a watch, allowing easy access as you jog.
Since a touchscreen won t be of much help as you jog, the Garmin has 4 buttons that enable you
to toggle its settings with ease, making it the ideal choice during your cardiovascular workout.
Omron, on the other hand, comes with a wrist holder and strap,
allowing for multiple ways to carry it while you jog. With only 4 buttons, you can toggle
the settings with ease. Both these devices have a simple user interface. The Garmin takes a more
high-tech approach while Omron performs like a traditional pedometer. Both of them are actually
easy to use and we can t really gauge who has the upper hand in this category, which is why
it would be fair to end this round with a tie. The second category that these two brands will
be going toe to toe with is their tracking modes. While tracking steps can help you keep your health
in check, it would be best to have your other statistics measured as well. Most pedometers offer
more than just a step count, so you might want to look out for these features before you get one.
The Garmin Forerunner provides you with all-day activity tracking that counts steps, calories,
and intensity minutes that remind you when to move to keep your pace. In addition,
it also monitors your heart rate at the wrist making it a great overall fitness tracker.
With the Omron, you ll have access to six tracking modes that allow you to monitor steps,
aerobic steps, time, distance, calories, and fat grams burned.
With Garmin s capability to monitor heart rate, it obviously has an advantage when
it comes to tracking, which is why it brings home the crown for this round.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their display.
A good display allows for easy viewing of your stats and progress while you walk or jog. You can
go for a big enough screen or get one that allows you to clearly see its details in broad daylight.
The Garmin Forerunner features a high-resolution colored display that is perfect for both
indoor and outdoor viewing. Meanwhile, Omron features
a simple but large LCD digital display. In terms of display, Garmin clearly has the
upper hand as it has technology by its side. With its bright and colored display similar to modern
smart watches, it wins this round by a landslide. The fourth category that these two brands will be
going toe to toe with is their size and weight. Since you ll be carrying pedometers around as you
walk or jog, the lighter and more compact one will always be the ideal choice. This is something that
you ll want to consider before your purchase. The Garmin Forerunner is technically a smart
watch, so it has compact dimensions of 1.4 by 0.5 by 1.6 inches and weighs a light 1.6 ounces.
Omron, on the other hand, is the bulkier of the two, measuring 0.63 by 2.13 by 1.4
inches and weighing 3.21 Ounces. With the Garmin being the more compact and lighter of the two,
it proves to be the fan-favorite, which is why it earns yet another point.
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be going toe
to toe with is their special features. Special features can be the selling point
of any pedometer, or device for that matter. You ll surely want more out of your device, so
investing in the option that has much more to offer would be a great decision.
Garmin features a built-in GPS that tracks how far, how fast and where you run. If
paired with a compatible smartphone, it pulls texts, social media, and other notifications,
then alerts you on your wrist. Omron, on the other hand, features
Dual Axis Technology and a 2D smart sensor that functions to count steps with the utmost accuracy
even when positioned vertically or horizontally. Of course, technology will always prevail when it
comes to gadgets and Garmin proves the be the most technologically advanced option overall. This is
why it deserves the point in this category. It is finally time to decide the winner of
today s battle between the Garmin Forerunner and Omron. Garmin technically wins all rounds,
garnering a total of 5 points. Omron on the other hand has only earned but a single point.
With technology on its side, Garmin proves to be the champion in today s episode of Brand Wars.
And there you have it folks the battle between the Garmin and the Omron has finally ended.
