Customer Reviews of Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Health Management Software
Customer Review: Very good product, price is right, needs more flexibility....
Summary: 4 Stars
Who am I? At the time I write this, I'm a 37 year old professional male who is married with a couple of small children and more than a few spare pounds. Why did I buy a pedometer? I've had some cheap ones and busted a few that have fallen to the ground while I was exercising, and I was looking for a better built more functional device. Having software and being able to track and graph my progress was a plus. Bar graphs aren't going to make me less fat, but for me, seeing a pie chart - as opposed to eating an entire pie - can make a difference in motivating me to do better.
The design -
It's a little oval looking thing, rather sleek in appearance, that's black, purple, and grey. Eh. it's fine. It's better than those rectangular things that look like they came in a Kiddie Meal at your local fast food establishment. Would multiple fashion colors make a difference? Fashion colors ALWAYS make a difference for a device that people might see on or about your person when you are exercising. Since mine resides in my pocket (I'm very private with my step counting, thank you very much) the color is irrelevant.
It's not particularly weighty. It will stay on if you clip it, but once you start moving, this may change (see more about that below).
PRO: Doesn't have to be hooked to your belt. Look, we've all seen how great some buff guy or girl looks with this sleek little pedometer conveniently clipped to their brand name athletic shorts with just enough tanned belly peaking from under the form fitting athletic top that doesn't exactly hide their taut abs but rather enhances the look. REALITY CHECK: you've got belly fat and this pedometer isn't going to rest flatly up against you. It's going to be angled by your belly and it's going to shift during exercise because you and I jiggle when we walk/jog. GOOD NEWS: put the pedometer in your pocket and fughet about it.....works just fine. We put it in a back pack and walked along the beach and it worked fine. I carried it in my hand once, and it worked just fine. I thought about tying it to my shoe to see if it would work, but I didn't because that would be highly annoying while exercising, and if it flew off it might break, and then that would be stupid. But, I bet it would work just fine. I have worn it on my waistline, but let me tell you something, ok? Do you want to be one of "those people?" You know who I'm talking about... they wear their gadgets on the outside purportedly for the convenience - but in some cases so the rest of us will say, "Hey there, friend, what are you sporting there today?" Maybe you think it's easier to just look down and view your steps periodically, but I say, if you can't get pulling something out of your pocket down, perhaps we should work on the ol hand eye coordination thing first. I, frankly, cannot see it over my fattness, so, I keep it in my pocket. Also, once, when it was on my belt area, it popped off and I feared I had broken it. Fortunately, it landed on carpet, and did not break, but I learned to respect the dignity of my device by placing it in my pocket instead of on my pantwaist. It seems happier in my pocket, and I'm good with that. Also, no one comes up and asks me how many steps I've taken today or if they can look at it, or why the heck am I wearing a pedometer. If you WANT the attention, wear it on the outside and take it all in. (That's just not for me).
ANOTHER PRO: It seems to be accurate. Now, if you're an exercise enthusiast that is training for the WORLD MASTER EXERCISE CHAMPIONSHIPOF VERY SERIOUS EXERCISE PEOPLE and you demand a product that will precisely measure every flipping thing you do, I can't help you. If your goal is 8000 steps a day, this little thing is going to give you a darn good idea whether you got there. There's nothing wrong with demanding higher performance. If that's your thing, you should. I submit that this pedometer is about as good as it gets, though... so short of counting your strides in your head or hiring a minion to run along side and count your steps for you, this pedometer should be just fine. I have nothing against very fit people and would like to be one. And I don't believe that fit people demand perfection from their pedometers. But there are perfectionists in this world that will find flaw with the fact that they looked at it, it said 1239 steps, they walked five steps, and they got shorted a step. If you're losing one in five steps, then it's not set right by stride, in all liklihood. My point is.... it's as accurate as I think most people need it to be.
ANOTHER PRO: If you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, it's easy to set up. If you don't read the instructions, we might read about your horrible experience here. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
OH LOOK ANOTHER PRO: The software is kind of neat. You can download your activity and view graphs and charts showing your steps and if you met your goals and whether it was aerobic enough (how does it know?) It does, fairly accurately too. I think it's based upon continuous movement.
CON: Ok, so you left the pedometer on the nightstand and then ran around in the yard for 1/2 hour with the kids. WHOOPS, it didn't measure your steps, obviously. Well, there's no altering the information in the computer when you download the information. I suppose this limits cheating, but darnit it, once you've had the thing on for a while you get pretty good at knowing how many steps you took. And again, for casual usage it would be nice if you could adjust the steps on the computer so that you don't have a little frowny face staring at you because you came up 127 steps short.
ANOTHER CON: This isn't so much a bad thing as a limitation you have to undertand. If you pivot in the kitchen and take two steps to put something in the oven, there's a chance that your movement won't inspire the device to count your steps. If this is a flaw in your mind because EVERY STEP MUST COUNT OR ELSE, then you will have a few disappointment in your life with this pedometer. To that, I say, if you're relying on your kitchen pivots to meet your steps goals, let's consider a session with a professional who can give you a few pointers.
Overall, the product works well, and in the low $30s is priced right. Buying this at $50 is a stretch, so don't.
I think you will be surprised by your activity level, if you're anything like me.... and for that I thank you, little pedometer.
