Product Reviews of Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Health Management Software
Product Review: Accurate and easy to use.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third Omron Pocket Pedometer I have purchased. The first one I owned went through the wash machine two times before it quit working. I liked it so much I bought another one for me and one for my girlfriend. They download data very easily and are very easy to set up. I would highly recommend them to anyone.Product Review: Accurate but bulky
Summary: 4 Stars
The Omron HJ-720-ITC is a great pedometer. I clip on the security strap (definitely needed!) and stick it in my pocket. Basically, I leave it and forget it. I love the ability to download my info and watch my improvements!
Pros:
Accurate
Can wear in pocket, on waistband, around neck, etc., and it still records steps
Downloadable! I love this feature!
Tracks aerobic steps
Shows last 7 days of walking info
Security strap
Resets itself every night
Cons:
Bulky! Doesn't stay clipped on waistband if I move to much.
Product Review: Accurate, Easy and Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer keeps track of up to 42 days of activity - on an hour by hour basis! Connect it to your PC and get a great running total of your walking exercise. I love this thing!
Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer First, some history. I started out with a cheap, regular pedometer. It sort of worked, and sort of counted steps. I had to reset it and write things down. Soon I had upgraded to the Omron HJ-112 (the model below this one). It was awesome. You could wear it on your hip or carry it in your purse. It auto reset every night so you didn't have to think about it - you just walked around with it on and always knew your steps for the last 7 days.
But as I actually started to pay attention to my walking, I wanted to keep track of it. Yes, I could write down what the pedometer said, but often I forgot to do that. I wanted to see comparisons of how I was doing over time, but my Excel spreadsheet was a bit more work than I wanted to get into.
A friend of mine had bought this HJ-720ITC version and simply adored it. I was finally talked into upgrading. I'm so glad I did! Now it is SUPER easy. I wear the pedometer on my hip. Every few days I plug it into my computer with a simple USB cable. POOF! My running total is updated. Not only that but it even tracks on an HOURLY basis how I'm doing!!
You can track multiple people, see things by day, week or month. You can even set goals and see how you're doing towards those goals.
Now, a down side. When you set your goal and you don't reach it, you get a frowny face!! It's very disappointing. I don't need to be beaten up for being sick or something. My friend had actually said he deliberately lowered his goals just to get away from those frowny faces. I didn't understand what he meant until I got the software - but now I agree. They should have done that differently.
In terms of how the pedometer itself works, it is excellent, just like the "lower end" Omron. It is very accurate and works quite well either on your hip or in your purse. If you use the purse you have it clipped vertically, as they tell you to.
Highly recommended!
Product Review: Accurate, but too large for everyday use
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very accurate pedometer, compared to others I tried. However, it is a little large for everyday use. Great for use during exercising, but as a working woman, it was difficult to wear during the work day. When I clipped it to my pants or skirts, it made a big bulge under my suit jackets.Product Review: All you need for counting Steps
Summary: 5 Stars
An outstanding product and software that keep track of your steps. It is all you need to view and manage your goals.
