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.

The included Omron Health Management Software provides a steps graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. View larger.

Buy Omron HJ-720 Pedometer to fatten up your 401-k:

Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with software is an unbelievable product.
Yes, it measures plain steps, aerobic steps and Pedometer is able to identify, type of steps it's that advanced from a pocket pedometer, it's like having a personal trainer. The health surgeon General recommended 10.000 step every day, I am not able to achieve that goal yet, but with a little help from Omron pedometer I believe & can achieve that goal. This was a Christmas present from my son,it's the BEST present I've... more info

Not reliable:

Within two months the data transfer failed. No fixing it. This is a common problem. If you take a look around, you will see I was not the only one.

Excellent, but with one tiny flaw:

I got the Omron HJ-720ITC on a recommendation from a nutritionist to keep track of (and increase) my exercise levels -- I had become a sedentary slug. The thing is terrific. Clips on your belt and off you go. It's very motivating, its extremely accurate, and you forget it's there. This model keeps track of loads of information: 7 days on the unit itself, and much longer if you plug it into the computer with the included software. I should probably use the software, but I don't. Nice to know I could, I... more info

This Pedometer is the BEST!:

I've had five or six pedometers over the past couple of years, and none have given me the kind of performance I'd hoped for. I've had several clip on types, and one that was a slim, credit card style for carrying in your pockets, but they all had issues of one kind or another, and none were truly satisfactory. This Omron works as advertised, and it's nearly all perfect.
I like the fact that it retains 7 days worth of step counting. I like the fact that it will give you numerous readouts at the press of... more info
