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.

 Difficult to set-up December 1, 2009
Roxie (Dallas, TX)
For the life of me, cannot figure how to set-up this pedometer. The instructions are not good at all. I will have to resort to someone helping me set-up who already has one of these. I'm usually good at these things, but the instructions for this pedometer are not very good!
 Great pedometer with serious flaws November 30, 2009
Niri Egeberg (Washington)
Let me say I love this pedometer's features. Once configured it does a great job at keeping track of your steps accurately. The statistics are great and I use the 7 day history feature often to make sure I'm on target. It has a big, clean display with easy to use buttons.
I've used the Omron HJ-720 for 6 months, walking twice every weekday. While it's a great step tracking tool there are some glaring issues with the design of this gadget.
1. The clip is worthless. It will pop off your belt/pants/pocket several times a day. Thankfully it has the security string with clip and if I didn't have that I would have lost this the first week I used it. At first I thought I was just bumping into things, not used to the bulkier frame of the pedometer but the behavior has persisted for the entire 6 months of ownership. This pedometer can accurately measure your steps even if hanging loose in your pocket or from belt/pants. This is a good thing. I don't know how many times I've felt the pedometer just dangling from under my shirt and I have to clip it back on to my belt. There are other great clip designs and hopefully this will come out with an improved clip.
2. This thing is power hungry! It never turns off so after 6 months I was getting the low battery indicator. Here's the warning. When you remove the battery and insert a new one the entire thing resets. I was quick about it too. I had the new battery ready and popped it back in within seconds. All steps and all settings - gone.
Thankfully I had uploaded my stats to the software a few weeks ago so I didn't lose too much information, but now I have to set the clock, my weight and my step again. This means I have to walk 10 steps, measure the distance and divide by 10 all over again. Basically you'll have to do this twice a year but it's annoying. Other devices have a miniature internal battery that can keep your settings stored while replacing the battery. This should really be addressed in a future release.
Overall I'm happy with my pedometer from Omron but the clip and battery issue are annoying so I'm only giving it 3 stars.
- PLUS
Accurate step counter.
Lots of information about your walking.
Easy to read display.
Great software for trending your walks and reaching daily goals.
- MINUS
Horrible clip solution.
Bulky size.
Battery only lasts 6 months.
Replacing battery wipes all settings and data.

The product does all the things that is says it does. It's just too big & bulky. It kept falling off of my waist band.
Does not shut off November 24, 2009

I received the following statement from Omron's customer service dept after sending an email inquiring about how to shut off the pedometer:
Although it does state in the owner's manual that the unit shuts off, it actually does not. Operating this way, your HJ-720IT has been designed so that the battery life should be approximately 6 months.
I don't know what to think about a company who is not truthful about its product.
 Great Pedometer! November 24, 2009
Kate (upstate NY, USA)
This little gadget is easy & fun to use. I've had other inexpensive pedometers in the past that were not that accurate & have gotten rid of them after using this one. This was recommended by a friend; he had great results with it. We often walk together & compare each other's steps. Although his stride is different than mine, the units are accurate because we've programmed them to coordinate to our individual needs. It's not hard to do. The other thing that makes this better than others is the fact that you can track your progress on the computer after easily setting up the software. I love it!
