Review on Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer: Enhanced Fitness Tracking with Health Management Software by Jeff Remol

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The software is bad but the pedometer is good.

I forgot where I got this software - I think it was available from the Omron website. Once you install and use it, there is no way to erase data from it. Must uninstall and reinstall. You can supposedly import data from another pedometer, but I still haven't figured it out. The pedometer is good, seems accurate, tracks steps and "aerobic" steps and duration of aerobic steps throughout the week. Unlike the previous model, which today only tracked but did not store aerobic step duration. Also distance (assuming you've adjusted your stride) and I think calories (if you've adjusted your weight), but I don't pay attention to that. One annoyance is that the pedometer, like the software, doesn't have a reset function. Removing batteries doesn't help. I read somewhere that you can repeatedly reset the time after midnight to "scroll" the old data and run out of memory, but what a PITA.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Unfashionable
