 Best I've ever used! Dec 01, 2008
I've had many other pedometers in my life ranging anywhere from $15 to $60 and I have never come accross a pedometer like this one. It is very accurate, and easy to use. What I really love is that you can see your progress on your computer, cause it comes with a cd to download software to your computer.
I highly recommend the "Omron HJ-720iTC Pocket Pedometer" to anyone that really cares about accuracy and watching their progress!
Great Dec 01, 2008
This pedometer is great - it is very accurate with the steps and mileage and is useful for weight loss. I have tried others and this is by far my favorite
Omron Pedometer Nov 30, 2008
The only negative about this pedometer is that it does not correctly display steps taken during an aerobic workout that uses sidesteps, kicks, etc. Other than that, it works great. I put it in my pocket and it calculates my steps all day long. Never have to worry about it falling off my waistband and breaking, which has happened with every other pedometer I have used, because it is kept secure in the pocket.
 Great meter, OK software, poor belt clip Nov 27, 2008
I'm on my third one. In three months. The belt clip is poorly designed - it's made for a narrow belt, not an elastic band - the type found on 99.9% of sweat pants and shorts. The clip pops off easily. If you're on grass or a soft surface, you will NOT hear it hit the ground.
A clip with a stronger spring, or that looks more like a cell phone clip (with that hook at the base) would be a great improvement.
I did notice it immediately the 15 or so times it came off while on the treadmill, and a couple of times on the street. Not while on or near grass. A few times I noticed it was gone - only because I was in the habit of checking - and went back to find it. Two times, no such luck.
So with number three, it's in the pocket - no more belt clip. Too expensive to toss them away each month. So be warned - you WILL lose the meter if you rely on the belt clip.
Data transfer: easy - but the software is VERY basic. Also, you can NOT merge data files as the manual states. So of you have records on two PC's for example - say a laptop on vacation and your desktop at home - you can't merge the files. You also can't enter data manually - a huge programming oversight.
Setup was fast - but has to be performed on the meter - you can't set anything from the PC. This should be a programming no-brainer - pull the date and time from the PC' allow changing stride, etc. from the software. But no-brainer seems to describe the person involved in designing the software.
Great Motivator to Get Off Your Couch! Nov 26, 2008
There are a lot of features built into this product. I have owned several pedometers that have ended up in the trash. Not this one. It is sensitive to each step--I have counted steps and checked. The software feature charts aerobic and regular walking with a graph layout of the entire week or month. I have a goal to reach 10,000 steps a day. You have to program the aerobic but if you are consistent (Enter when you are exercising), you will get an aerobic reading each day. I am on a wellness program at work and they require documentation of your exercise. That is done with the Omron. Thirty bucks is a deal!
