Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software Review
This is a very nice pedometer. It is easy to use and the software that comes with it is outstanding.
I wear it every day, download the date daily and track the results.
There are two areas where it could use improvement:
1) The clip that holds it on your trousers/belt is not all that good. I had it fall off quite often. My solution was to have my tailor sew me up a little leather pouch that fits on my belt. I am surprised the company does not sell something like that.
2) The second, and potentially more serious problem is that when wearing the pedometer and riding in a car, the vibrations of the vehicle add "false steps." I called customer service to see if there was any type of a pause command. There isn't. The only way around this is to lay it flat on its back in the vehicle, on a flat surface. This appears to solve the "false step" problem. A pause button would sure be nice.
I am glad I bought the unit and would recommend it to anyone.
