Amazon.com Product Description
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. 
The included Omron Health Management Software provides a steps graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. View larger. |

Q&A - Pedometers
Does it matter where the pedometer is placed or attached?
The HJ-150 and 151 Pedometer must be positioned correctly. Attach the unit to your belt or to the top of your waistband. The unit must be horizontal to the ground in order for the unit to function correctly. The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer can also be placed in your pocket or purse.
What's the accuracy rate of Omron Pedometers?
The precision of the step counting is within +/- 5%.
What are moderate steps?
At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise is recommended each day. The HJ-151 Pedometer separately displays the steps and minutes walked at a moderate pace.
What are aerobic steps?
The HJ-112 and HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer separately displays aerobic steps and minutes that start counting after 10 minutes of continuous walking with more than 60 steps a minute.
How does the PC software work?
The HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer includes PC software for Windows 2000 or XP. It keeps track of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress.

 Pleasantly Pleased November 19, 2008
This pedometer has really done its job. It is very accurate. I have used other, cheaper pedometers, but you get what you pay for. They count steps even when you are just moving your upper body. This one only counts "real" steps. If you are wanting a more healthy lifestyle, and motivate yourself to "get moving", then this is the pedometer for you.
Great Tracking November 17, 2008
This has helped my steps tracking so much. Like the software program that comes with it, easy to use and follow.

I purchased this specific pedometer because it came with a CD with software. This would allow me to input the data from the pedometer into a program on my computer and monitor my progress. Well, the pedometer works great, does what it should by counting my steps. I like the different modes offered such as calories, miles, steps, etc. What I don't like is that I still cannot get the CD/software to work. I have contacted Omron through email and they sent me a link to download the software directly from their site. Still no luck. My next step is to call them in person to get a solution. I would not return the pedometer and CD because the pedometer does do what it should. If it turns out that I can never use the software, I will be disappointed - more towards 'modern technology' than against Omron.
 stopped working 2 days past return window :-( November 4, 2008
This thing was pretty cool for about a month. After that, it began resetting the count over and over and flashing a low battery sign (even minutes after a new battery was put in). Of course, this happened about 2 days after it was past the last day I could get a refund. Very unhappy and would not recommend. Just get yourself a plain old pedometer. If you have a calculator, you can figure out your mileage on your own, and save your cash for something else.
Good fitness aid November 2, 2008
This is by far the best pedometer I have ever owned. It works reliably, can be worn on the belt or carried in a pocket, and has a heavy-duty leash with strong clip. It stores at least a month of data, although you can only review the most recent 7 days on the device. The pedometer has a mini-USB port for connecting to a PC, and proprietary software is included with this model. The software is adequate for data download and basic data display, but it won't do real analysis such as process description charting. For that you have to export the data file to a format (*.csv) that can be used by an external program. Examining the CSV file shows that there are over 100 data fields for each day! 48 fields are hour-by-hour breakdowns of total steps and "aerobic" steps. (Omron defines aerobic steps as those occurring during a period of continuous activity at 30 steps per minute or greater.) Another 48 fields have to do with capabilities of the pedometer that I have not explored yet. The rest are date, and daily totals. That level of detail allows a number of analysis possibilities whether you are using a spreadsheet such as OpenOffice.org Calc or Microsoft Excel, or professional statistical analysis software.
Some time ago I did use another pedometer with "data storage and analysis" features. That one required manual entry of daily data into a website, had only very simple charting ability, and had no option to export data. I lost interest very quickly. Since I have had this Omron product I have dropped 30 pounds, in large part because I can regularly examine the data and look for areas for improvement in my performance. (Yes, I am a data geek.)
