The Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise, and there's also a 42-day memory for uploading past workouts to your PC. The device resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-720ITC is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The pedometer also includes PC software for Windows 2000 or XP, which keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.

Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software

Reviewed by David C. Vollendorf, 2010-03-05

Great Product. I where it every day, helps me track my activity for the day. The only thing I don't like is that it falls off my waistband on my pants, pretty easy and doesn't seem to be accurate if the item is not vertical i.e. sideways in a pocket. I like the software, but haven't played around with it much.

My wife and I each got one of the Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometers, and have been very impressed at how easy they were to set up, and how accurate they have been. We've used several pedometers before, but have never had as accurate as the Omron HJ-720ITC. It is also very helpful to be able to download the records to see how we are progressing. If you are considering purchase of the Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer, I highly recommend it.

Not A Bad Pedometer, But It Has A Few Quirks

Reviewed by D. J. Bergquist, 2010-03-03

I've been using this pedometer for a few weeks now and have to say that all-in-all it is a pretty good model.

Basically, after set-up, you carry it in your pocket (or wear it on your belt) and it tracks your steps and your aerobic steps by the time you take them. You can then off-load that data into a program that will draw graphs that will compare the steps taken against the targets you set.

The good stuff: The pedometer is pretty easy to set-up, the interface on the computer is good looking and largely self-explanatory. It comes with a wrist strap and a clip so that it can be worn like a pocket watch or strapped into your briefcase or purse. It will apparently even count steps when it is being carried in one of those locations. (Though I have not tried this.)

The bad stuff: The clock on it is not the best. Mine gains about three minutes a week. The unit's face must be within 30-degrees of vertical while being carried or it will not register steps. It does not matter how the unit is oriented as long as the face is nearly vertical... If you think of it like a coin, if the coin is standing on its edge, it works, if it is laying on its face or its back it doesn't. This is pretty easy as long as your pockets are fairly tight... but as I tend to wear loose clothing when I work out, I noticed that the thing was not registering the time I spent on the treadmill. I went back and read the instructions and discovered this. Clipping the thing to my belt during the workouts has fixed this issue.

Overall, I would recommend this. There are a couple quirks that bother me as a software designer, but the average person would probably never notice them. For example. If you leave the PC program running and the pedometer hooked-up to the PC, the system will put your steps on the wrong date... (This happened to me once!) I set-up to transfer my steps on Friday night and then the phone rang. I found the thing still connected the next morning, finished the offload and then noticed that Saturday was already populated with the steps I had taken the day before.

Oh well! Too bad the only way to correct data errors is to uninstall the software and start over!

But as I have said all-in-all, this is a pretty good pedometer and I would recommend it to a friend.

Some Good, Some Bad

Reviewed by Sheri, 2010-03-03

I bought one of these about 2 years ago and have faithfully worn it almost every day. I run and I walk. I started using it while running about 3 months ago. The pedometer is very accurate during a walk, but only counts 50 to 70 % of steps while running. I wasn't too concerned with that as my stride length probably had something to do with that. The strap broke after about 4 months and yesterday the pedometer stopped counting steps. There was no apparent reason, I tried to switch out batteries and to no avail. The product worked reasonably; but the life of the product was a disappointment.

The product arrived today in excellent condition. It also arrived in only three days which surprised me. The pedometer was easy to setup and the software installed easily. I was able to get it setup with no difficulty. I usually avoid products with software because the software usually will not install correctly, or causes problems with other software, or just plain does not work. I am most pleased and will probably order another for my wife. The only negative I have is with the packaging. I find the use of these clear plastic sealed containers difficult to open as well as dangerous.
