Product Description: Omron® HJ-720FFP Pedometer
Combining all the activity-enhancing features of 2D smart sensor technology pedometers with Omron Health Management Software, the HJ-720FFP downloadable pedometer provides an engaging and information-driven way to improve your health. Using dual-axis accelerometer technology to record your daily step count, this smart and simple pedometer tracks and stores your activity information, which you can then download with the Health Management Software. There's no better way to establish activity goals and review your personal progress than with the HJ-720FFP pedometer and this easy-to-use health monitoring system from Omron.
When You Know Your Numbers, You'll Grow Your Numbers.
You'd be surprised by how many steps you already take each day. A few hundred walking to the bus, a couple thousand going a few blocks down for lunch, and with an Omron Pedometer you'll know just how many steps you're taking and begin looking for ways to see that number get bigger every day.
Every Step Counts
Omron Pedometers use smart axis technology rather than the standard pendulum system to get a more accurate reading. Many Omron Pedometers, including the HJ-720FFP, can be programmed to your personal stride length to provide you with an even more accurate count.
The Omron HJ-720FFP Pedometer offers:
Omron Dual-Axis Technology— Counts steps accurately and quietly whether positioned vertically or horizontallyIncludes Omron Health Management Software (OHMS)— For activity analysis
Tracks Daily Distance Fat Grams and Calories Burned— For better health tracking
Automatic Reset— Start with a clean slate each day to track your steps more accurately
Weekly Log— Store up to 7 days of information in memory; resets to zero at midnight so you're ready to go every morning
41-Day Memory— Download over a month's worth of information
Six Tracking Modes— Track steps, aerobic steps, time, distance, calories and fat grams burned

A few steps toward a healthier life
Walking is a great way to stay healthy. In fact, walking 10,000 steps a day is widely recommended by health and fitness professionals. And when you track your steps with a pedometer, like the Omron HJ-720FFP, studies show you're likely to increase your total number of steps a day by about 2,000, or 1 mile.*
Getting Started
Warm Up First-Before your walk, stretch (arm circles, hip circles and leg lifts) to get your blood flowing and reduce the risk of injury.
Use a Pedometer—Omron Pedometers are the partners you can count on when you want to accurately track your daily routine and help you reach your recommended 10,000 daily steps.
Set Goals—Begin slowly and work your way up. By setting goals you'll push yourself farther and achieve more.
Mix It Up—Add variety to your routine by changing pace, walking uphill or just changing your route.
Add Resistance—Include some upper-body exercises as you walk, such as arm reaches or carrying water bottles in each hand to increase your calorie burn.

I think this is an excellent pedometer -- it does the job well and accurately. It counts your steps whether it is clipped on, in your pocket or in a purse. The auto-reset to zero at midnight helps keep you honest. Like the software - a couple of clicks and your data is automatically uploaded. It shows your results on a daily, weekly, monthly,and annual basis. Omron is the only company I have seen that provides you with software.
I think the manual that comes with the device could be slightly improved but here are some tips that may help you with setting it up and using it for the first time:
(1) With the back cover off, make note of the serial number. It is engraved into the case in tiny letters near the bottom. It is a six character mix of letters and numbers. You'll need this for registration later.
(2) Before starting to configure your pedometer, you will need to calculate the length of your stride. Pick a starting point and walk 10 regular steps. Measure the distance in inches and divide by 10. Make a note of the result to use later.
(3) In the software, I suggest setting modest "daily goals" to start. Adjust your goals up or down anytime through the software's Options menu as you get use to the pedometer.
(4) The "Set" button on the front is smaller than the others and is intended to be used occasionally to reset the time, your weight, etc. as needed - it does not reset or delete your step data. As a good practice, upload your pedometer data regularly as a backup. In the unlikely event that the "Set" button is accidently pressed , just press "Set" another 4 or 5 times and you'll come back to your normal "step" screen.
(5) Step count - this pedometer shows total steps (both aerobic and regular steps)in the "step" count screen. To see only the aerobic steps accomplished for the day, go to the next screen. It keeps a separate count for aerobic steps (60 steps or more per minute continuously for 10 minutes or longer).
(6) While you can view the last 7 days of step data on the device itself, it actually holds up to 42 days in memory. All data is viewable once uploaded to your pc.
Hope this helps... I highly recommend this device.

I have not used pedometers much, but really like this unit for a number of reasons. First, it is quite compact and can comfortably fit in a pocket and not feel bulky (you can wear with a clip too or hang it from a cord off a belt). Second, it really seems to accurately count steps. I tried it a few times by counting 50 or 100 steps with the unit in my pocket and it seems to be right on target as a step counter. To measure distance, I walked a 100 feet a couple of times to set my stride. With the stride in place, the distance measure seems pretty accurate. I walked a known distance (about a mile and a half) and then looked at both the step count and distance. The distance was a little short, which meant I needed to make a slight adjustment to the value of the stride. I made the same walk again and got the calculated distance was exactly on target.
Conclusion: This is an accurate pedometer in terms of counting steps and estimating distance.
I also really like the software. You simply attach the pedometer to your computer (I have a a PC with XP) and the data then download. You can look at your total number of steps by day (or hour within the day), the number of steps at an aerobic rate (defined as part of walking ten minutes or more at a stretch), and distance walked. There are also estimates of calories burned and grams of fat lost, based on you weight and age -- I have no idea if these are accurate. As a nice feature, you can look at all statistics by day, week, or month.
The software is very easy to use and as bonus also interfaces with some of Omron's blood pressure unit.
I have really enjoyed using this pedometer in that I can slip it into my pocket in the morning (and am glad it doesn't take up much room) and then look at my step count for the day. I have given myself a daily target (10000 steps) and am now finding myself doing more things to get in extra steps each day -- parking further from my destination, walking a bit further to pick up for lunch, or just treating myself to a 10-15 minute walk during my workday. These things add up and now I have a sense of what all I need to do during the day to reach my step goal.
You pay a bit extra (not that much) for a pedometer with many features, including the software. I suppose you could save a few dollars by not getting a version with the software, but for me, being able to easily track progress is one of the best things about this pedometer (can also print out reports, output data to a spreadsheet if you want). It seems to be worth a bit more to have this sort of tracking (though I do wish they had sotware for Macintosh computers!).
Highly recommended!

What an impressive little device this is. The device is highly accurate on the waistband. The purse option hasn't really worked too well for us, but it does come close. The coolest part of this thing is the ability to download the information to your PC and track your progress and goals. When we first got it, we thought 10,000 steps was a breeze. We were way WRONG! 10,000 steps is a lot of walking. I mean a lot. We were coming up more than half short of the recommended 10,000 and didn't even realize it.
It's very sleek in it's design. The overall look is that of an egg cut in half. It does not have a proprietary USB link, if you have a device with a smaller USB end rather than the standard (MP3 players and GPS devices sometimes use the smaller one) you can use an existing one, just in case you lose the one that is supplied.
It's really sweet that it resets itself at midnight every day and stores your previous data for you to download at your convenience.
Love it.
