Overview
The Omron HJ-720ITC is a clip-on pocket pedometer that uses a dual-axis sensor to count steps, aerobic steps, distance and calories, whether it rides in a pocket, purse or on a belt. It pairs with free Omron software that logs history for review on a computer.
- Dual-axis step sensor works in any orientation
- Tracks steps, aerobic steps, distance and calories
- Includes desktop software for weekly and monthly logs
- Detachable belt clip and security strap included
Who it's for
Best suited to walkers and beginning exercisers who want a simple, clip-on step counter with real history logging rather than a smartwatch. Less useful for anyone who wants live phone syncing or GPS mapping, which this device does not offer.
Pros and cons
- Counts accurately in a pocket, purse or on a belt
- Separately tracks aerobic steps and minutes
- 7-day on-screen history plus 41-day memory
- Auto-resets at midnight
- Belt clip can detach and the unit can be lost
- USB software occasionally throws download errors after months or years of use
- Manual has a documented error about auto shutdown
Performance notes
The dual-axis sensor reads steps whether the unit is held horizontally or vertically, so it keeps counting in a pocket or bag, not just clipped to a waistband. It stores 7 days on the display and 41 days in memory, and resets its daily count automatically at midnight.
