Health & Personal Care : Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software

Rating: - Excellent Value
I had to admit that I was a little bit skeptical after reading so many positive reviews, but everyone is dead on the money. This is an EXCEPTIONAL pedometer. I have tested its step-counting accuracy on numerous occasions and the largest error that I have observed was 2%. The manual states that its accuracy is within +/- 5%, so it certianly exceeded my expectations.

It counts steps and even has separate tracking for aerobic workouts which is defined as walking continuously for more than 10 minutes and/or walking at a rate of 120 steps/minute. It also keeps track of the calories your burn and shows the equivalent grams of fat of those burned calories. It also measures the distance that you walk but, as other reviewers have noted, it's probably best to walk a measured distance several times to get the most accurate "average" stride distance for your own personalization (I believe that you can set your stride from 1'-0" to 4'-0", in 1" increments).

In addition, what do you get for $30? Well, you get the Health Management Software which is a package that not only integrates pedometer data, but blood pressure data as well should you opt to purchase that through Omron (sold separately). It's pretty neat because it will keep track of your steps (both aerobic and non-aerobic) and display the information in any number of ways (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). If you want, you can even set goals for yourself and see if you achieve them!

This is definitely a huge 5-star product. This pedometer is so much better than its nearest competitor for $10 less, especially the very weak pedometer offerings that you find at Sports Authority or Big 5 Sports. I would highly recommend it as part of your exercise regimen.

This pedometer works great and was easy to set up. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. I wear it all the time and use it daily.

I love my new pedometer. After looking at different types, and owning several over the years, I felt that this pedometer was the best. Since Dr. Oz uses this on his Discovery TV shows, I felt it would suit my needs very well. It is very easy to learn, and I like that it clips very securely onto your pants. The last one I had must have fallen off somewhere!! Since you are able to download your information onto the computer, it is a great way to track your success. I hope you choose this great pedometer if you are looking to purchase one - you won't be sorry.

Rating: - It works, no complaints
This is the only pedometer I've ever had.. it does what it's supposed to, seems to be accurate and work well. It does count some extra steps in my car, not sure if that's related to bouncing or the stick shift.
