 best little pedometer I have ever tried November 19, 2007

I got this pedometer to try out while at work and I loved it so much that I bought myself one. It gives you accurate instantaneous feedback (if I stomp in one place, if I'm driving, if I'm rocking in a chair or whatever - it doesnt' add steps - basically it only adds steps when I'm walking).
There is one down side and that is the clip it comes with is horrible. I lost my first pedometer because it fell off and I didn't notice. Since then, I have almost lost it many times again. So, I have learned to just keep it in my pocket or keep a close eye on it. Other than that, I highly recommend it.
It has a scroll function to see how many steps, miles, calories, and aerobic steps you have done for the day or for the last 7 days.

Like some of the other reviewers, I have gone through several pedometers in the past. Well I have bought my last one. This unit is very accurate and just amazing. I can put the unit in my pocket and get accurate readings. Well worth the money. This will encourage me to walk much more!

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!

Easy set up. Accurate daily results. Helps me stay focused on daily step goals and keeping active. Recommend that the belt clip be lengthened by 1/4 to 1/2 to accommocate wider/thicker belts, but this is not a major concern. Easy to use computer software provides great value added for keeping history. No need to log on to or pay for an online memebership to access your total history.
Bought two! April 17, 2007

I bought one for both my husband and I. We love it! My husband has already lost 10 pounds and one notch on his belt in about a month. He's usually not in to stuff like this but has repeatedly told me that it was a good buy.
