It really works!
I have had this 720ITC pedometer for 2 months and so far, I really like it! I love that I can just put it in my pocket. It is so simple to download the information into my computer. I find it very instructive to view my stats in various ways, to see how I am actually doing on a weekly and even monthly basis, not just a daily basis.

Great Motivator
I had previously tried the 10,000 steps and had some success, but with this very helpful monitor I am very motivated to reach and exceed my daily goal.

Helps me achieve my goal of over 10,000 steps a day!
The BI Omron Walking Style pedometer is awesome. It just keeps on recording everything I'm doing so I don't have to think about it. I am 63 and have a heart condition so it is important to me to exercise every day. I participate in a walking program at work and aim to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. It took me a while to work up to that, but now I get there almost every day.
I love my pedometer because it is incredibly accurate, lightweight, and complete. It records, not only my steps, but aerobic steps, calories burned and miles walked and keeps the data in its' memory for 7 days.
The exciting upgrade with the Omron is that it comes with software that you can load on your computer and track your progress beyond the week's worth of data that the pedometer keeps track of. It really helps me see where I am progressing and where I am falling back. Wearing this has become second nature to me now. I would be lost without it.

Accurate, Easy and Fun
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!

My first pedometer. Works with Vista.
I have never had a pedometer before and the only reason I got one was to get a more accurate daily calorie usage listing. I was worried this would be one of those things I would buy and eventually stop using. Its not going to be that way though. I just keep it with the rest of my stuff (keys, cell phone, wallet) throw it in my pocket and I am good to go. I usually sync it with my computer once or twice a day. Its actually really cool. I like knowing how many steps I take, and the included software breaks it down by hour, day, week, and month. It only takes about 5 seconds to sync and to my suprise it works on WINDOWS VISTA even though it did not say so and many users had said it wouldnt. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit and it installed and works fine. One of the best buys I have made in a while and I definetly do not regret buying it.
