Simply but extremly useful for my purpose 
2008-07-19
All I wanted was a simple Pedometer that can count my steps, so that I will be more motivated to move around. This unit did it. I love the function that I can download the data to excel file easily. Also, the strap saved the unit countless times. I had lost couple of cheaper pedometer within a month and this one is here to stay!
Pedometer is a nifty tool 2008-07-19
For the health conscious, this is a very nifty tool. After the initial set up there is nothing more to do other than walk, walk, walk, walk .... The price was right and it arrived quickly.
Great little gadget 2008-07-17
I love it! It works fantastic. The only complaint I have about it is though it says you can stick it in your pocket and purse it MUST be upright. I walked around all morning with it in my jeans and at noon it said 0!!!
Not that happy 
2008-07-15
This item never shuts off! I actually purchased two from the same company, just different models and neither one shuts off. It says that after 5 minutes of non-use it will automatically shut off...it NEVER HAS. I'm not happy with that because the battery ran out. Now, neither of us are using the ones I purchased. I don't recommend it.
Accountability and motivation 2008-07-13
As the title of my review, these are the two reasons I have a pedometer. Accountable because it keeps me focused on maintaining an activity level sufficient for good heart health and weight loss. Motivation because I use it to go beyond past performance, to drive myself to more challenging walking goals.
Some pedometers are only good for relative performance, to tell whether there is a difference between the activity level of one day over another. I've found this pedometer to be an accurate, informative and excellent gauge of both aerobic and normal walking. The software, although not as thorough as I'd like it to be, does make an easy to read database for performance review for the unit. It installs simply and the unit easily downloads data with the accompanying USB cable.
Highly recommended.
A wonderful tool to help motivation to walk 2008-07-24
For years I have been on myself that I need to exercise more. I need to get to the gym more. I need to move more. And it has not gotten far beyond the "I need to"s. I have found that for me having a good pedometer has been a great tool to enhance my motivation. I started with simple goals and buildt up. In the process of building more steps I have come to enjoy the beauty of my neighborhood, actually take those breaks from my desk, and build reminders every day to get up and walk.
I have been able to sustain this longer than my typical bursts of going to the gym.
I have had other pedometers but this is by far the best. Some reasons include:
1. Easy to read display even in bright sun light
2. Resets at mid-night which means all I have to do in the morning is drop it in my pocket
3. I really like the tracking software
- I can see progress from month to month at a quick glace
- I can see where throughout the day I took my steps
- It even keeps track of the 5 top step days
- Can manually enter in blood pressure readings so those too can be tracked
4. The aerobic step feature is great in that I often will take my 10 minute break as a quick walk and by doing these repeated 10 minutes burst of steps by the end of the day I've accumulated 30-60 minutes of "aerobic" steps.
I have found that this great pedometer coupled with this software have been a great inspiration to keep working every day to "get in those steps".
Awesome 2008-07-22
I already have the Omron pedometer, but wanted to try this one to keep track of everything on the computer. I love it. Easy to install (I am not very good in the computer department, but had no trouble) and it is amazing how it shows you on the graph. Love it love it, love it.
Just what I was hoping for 2008-07-21
This is very easy to use, the upload feature works great, and from what I can tell it is very accurate at counting steps. This is so much easier than wearing one on my belt, I just put it in one of my front pockets and go. The software looks good so far, but I haven't dug into it very deeply yet. I also have a portable blood pressure tester from Omron, they seem to make good quality products. This pedometer is worth the price.
Just what I wanted! 2008-07-21
My husband and I both have this model and we have found them to be very consistent and accurate. The software that comes with it is a great way to keep track of your daily, weekly and monthly progress.
Great Product 2008-07-20
I would highly recommend this product. I previously had the Omron HJ-112 (which I highly recommend also) However, after about 6 months of use the HJ-112 quit working. I purchased another brand pedometer and was extremely disappointed. It stopped working after a month or so. So, I decided to go with the Omron HJ-720ITC. I haven't used the computer features yet, the pedometer itself is acurate and easy to use. I sent the HJ-112 back to Omron and after inspecting it they sent me a new one. So I now have two great pedometers, just in case one of them quits working. I will say that customer service at Omron has always been helpful and pleasant. The plastic safety clip, broke two different times on the HJ-112 and it was replaced free of charge without any questions asked. I wear the pedometer 7 days a week all day long, including my 2-3 mile jog every morning. I have found that a pedometer is very motivating to keep me on track of 10,000+ steps a day.
