Both Watson & Guardian does sell, but not all their retailers sell it just some of them. What they sell in Penang is Omron HJ-113, the price according to Watson (Raya Sales) RM94 while Guardian the price is RM137 I believe. For those who wish to instead get from Omron's Malaysia distributor the info is below or visit their estore http://estore.kinsmedic.com.my/shop/pc/viewcategories.aspQUOTE(http://www.omron-healthcare.com.sg/contact_malaysia.htm) Distributor Company Name: Kinsmedic Sdn Bhd Address: 9th Floor, Wisma Fiamma, Lot 44653, Jalan 7A/62A, Bandar Manjalara 52200 Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Telephone: 603-6279-8888 Fax No: 603-6279 8676 Website: http://www.kinsmedic.com.myOmron HJ-113 has 7 day memory not bad, there is a slightly more expensive model called HJ-720ITC (Europe: HJ-720IT-E2) which not only keeps data for 41 days in its memory it has ability to upload your data to pc and using Omron software you can track your progress easily. Problem is I don't see it listed in either Kinsmedic or Omron Singapore site. So far I couldn't find it in any shops This post has been edited by BugFace: Sep 8 2009, 11:18 PM

Its confirmed Omron HJ-720 models (which has been around for few years) is still not available locally since Omron AP did not bring it into our region. Too bad really I would love to upload the data into pc to see monthly progress etc.

HJ-113 Advanced Technology Dual Sensor Technology allows the pedometer to count steps in multiple positions. For the first time, you can place the pedometer in your pocket, purse, briefcase, or clip at your waist while walking. You will get the same accurate reading.
Attain Your Weight Loss Quicker The Omron Pedometer counts total steps, aerobic steps, duration of aerobic walk, calories consumed by walking and distance. 7-Day memory tracks your daily progress.
The Aerobic Step Counter Aerobic steps means burning more calories, resulting in faster weight loss. In addition, aerobic steps can improve your cardiovascular endurance. The Omron Pedometer tracks aerobic steps separately, making it easier to attain your goals. Aerobic steps start counting after 10 minutes of continuous walking or running.
Tech Specs Manufacturer Omron Corporation Manufacturer Part Number HJ-113
# Counts Steps & Aerobic Steps # Displays duration of aerobic walk # Displays distance walked # Counts amount of calories and body fat burnt # 7-day memory # Time display
As long as you add details like your weight, step length etc, most details it should calculate for you. The minor issue is it starts calculating once you put in the battery and input your details, so if you keep it whole day it will continue counting which you need to deduct when you start jogging to get the distance you covered. For distance they calculate is based on the length of stride(step) you input so accuracy depends on how accurate you input length of your stride(step). Everything will be automatically reset at 12am.
More details on HJ-720 models, seems that Omron Asia will not cover for its warranty for those buying it in Asia Pacific region we can't buy this online from Amazon either!
