Can this pedometer be worn on a leash around the neck? I worry about accidentally washing it, and it's too expensive to risk that!

I tuck it in my sports bra and it is as accurate as when I use the belt clip that comes with it. Unlike the Fitbit that works with wrist action, the Omro works when my wrists are stationary inn the elliptical.

I've worn it tethered to my belt so I don't see why not. You can drop it in any pocket an it also works just fine.

Yes if you use a strong chain such as what a set of dog tags for a soldier. Mine is clipped onto front pocket so have to take out when I remove pen paper and others in pocket

The strap should be okay to rinse with water and a mild detergent, although I haven't tried this myself. I'd hand wash it and let it air dry. If you're worried about odor, just wash it in a 75/25 water/white vinegar solution.

I jog with mine around my neck. I've been caught in the rain and everything inside has been fine. I thought it states it is airtight, so I am assuming so. I have not submersed mine under water to really test that. I love mine. I got the smaller one. I get compliments on it all the time. I wear it on a stainless steel necklace.

There is not a leash made into the jacket. It might be possible to attach one down through the next hole if you use a harness. If you use a collar there should be no problem.

If the collar is adjusted correctly you should be able to regain control. If you do have a problem keeping the collar on use an over the shoulders harness as a secondary safety on a separate leash.

This leash is for exercise only. A dog should not be tethered without supervision. Please reconsider.

It will not count your steps, like regular pedometers. You could use it to count laps while walking. You manually count the laps. I thought this counter had a timer as well as a lap counter. It doesn't. I misread the description. I since purchased another lap counter that has a timer. I use a regular pedometer to count my steps.

I bought it for the lifting and supporting and did not try on a leash. It can be used that way but as already suggested, it might slip a bit for other than a calm walk. I don't think it is intended to aid in controlling a dog on a leash.

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

Try rice. I have ruined 2 with water. However, one did work quite a while later. Open back take out battery and place in dish of rice. My sister swears by it. However, I wish this was waterproof, it is my favorite pedometer.

No, the leash is not fragile. It is designed to come apart. It is in two pieces, the shorter of which is attached by you to your pedometer. The other portion clips to this piece and then on your clothing. The problem is the connecting piece which is plastic may come apart on its own. One of my leashes did that. There a other seems fine. Just be aware of this potential problem with the design. There are two separate leashes.

I try to be a regular walker to reach my daily goal of at least 5000 to 10,000 steps a day...It does not come with a safety leash...I wear on my jean pocket and have even had in my pocket with no variance in recording my steps...I like this pedometer quite well...still on original battery.

(Only) When you and the treadmill are *NOT* moving - then: Yes, there should be no problem setting this on the belt of a (non-moving) treadmill. The bottom is rubber, and should not slip.

Yes, you can wear the implement while gardening...it's great for that. Just don't get it around your pets.

I don't think it will discolor his/her neck if you only use it for the walk and then remove it. It is more like the fur wearing away or breaking off; this collar is not meant to be worn all the time.

Like Mimi's Books said, it has a thin nylon loop, made to go into a small eyelet on the pedometer. But my FitbitOne only has a rigid hook, so I slide the ribbon of the leash thru the rigid hook. Have not had any problems with it sliding off in the 6 months I have been doing it.

If you have a normal strap and wear it over your shoulder, movement can either let it slip off the shoulder or move up your neck and rub it. In my short time with the under arm strap, it simply keeps it in place and prevents any slippage.
