Customer Reviews of Tanita CJ-688-TB Jump Rope with Calorie Counter
Customer Review: Second the rope tangles easily.
Summary: 2 Stars
The jump rope is okay. It wasn't what I expected. First the battery will run out fast since the LCD never turns off. I just got this rope so I don't know how long the battery actually lasts but if it never turns off so I suppose it will be dead soon. Second the rope tangles easily. The jelly-ish rope has to be laid out and put books on to make it straight and not tangle. I put books on it and it still tangles on one spot. Third when setting your weight for the counter it starts around 50 and goes up to 360. If you skip your weight you have to press it about 200 times. The numbers only go one way... once it hits 360 then it starts back at 50. I haven't tried to adjust the rope to my size (I've only had it for a day) so I'm not sure if it works easy or not. The plus side is that it counts the number of times you spin the rope and calories you are burning. It's not the best. A regular rope would be better.Customer Review: The rope also makes it easy to jump rope.
Summary: 3 Stars
Its true that the LCD never turns off and that the counter only goes one way. However, I havent encountered much tangling and the rope adjusts well. The rope also makes it easy to jump rope.Customer Review: I plan on returning it unless I can find someone to open it.

I received the Tanita digital jumprope, battery was either not included or dead. I could not unscrew the battery cover, since the screw was some off the wall phillips thing that even my eyeglass repair screwdriver couldn't move. I plan on returning it unless I can find someone to open it.Customer Review: I have bought other jump ropes-light "fast" ones...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had tried several times to develop facility with jumping rope, but I fatigued too easily and could never build stamina. I would jump for a minute or two or even three, but I would miss a jump and then feel like I had to start all over. Needless to say, I couldn't sustain a disciplined learning curve.However, with this rope, I didn't have to worry about sustaining (or counting) a specific number of minutes of jumping...I could set myself a goal of xxx number of JUMPS, increasing that number each time, and thus develop the necessary stamina to make a jump rope workout as fun and effective as it should be. By setting a goal of JUMPS instead of TIME, it didn't matter how often I missed a jump...I could just start from where I stopped and the counter would keep clicking away. Even if every other jump was a miss (which wasn't actually the case), as long as I kept going, I could eventually reach my goal.
Well, not only was I able to build stamina and increase my jump goal each time, but the more regular attempts I was making (and persistence in going for my goal of xxx number of jumps) allowed me to develop the agility to jump longer with fewer misses. Before too long, I was actually a ROPE JUMPER!
I have bought other jump ropes--light "fast" ones, and heavier ones for more muscular development--and I enjoy each of them for the traits specific to them. But I never would have developed any jump roping skill at all if not for this terrific rope. I've had it now for a couple of years, and the battery has not run down, and I've never had any problem with rope tangling. Also, I am tall and it is hard to find jump ropes of sufficient length for me, but this one is comfortably long, (yet the length is adjustable and can be made shorter). I even bought one of these for another person and recommended it to still others.
All in all, a TERRIFIC jump rope! Viva Tanita!!
Customer Review: Accidentally...
Summary: 4 Stars
Now that good weather has peaked around the corner, I have taken my Tanita jumprope out for a spin. I really like the fact that I can enter in my weight and it will not only count my jumps but also how many calories I burn. For me, this extra motivation keeps me going to the next level. I only really saw a couple drawbacks. Accidentally, I went past my weight and had to go all the way past 300 and then back back to the beginning to set, because the counter goes one way (and you only need to hold the button down, not press it 200 times), which does not actually take very long, and the rope occasionally tangles, not often, but sometimes, due to the type of rope it is. I find it quick, accurate and a nice change of pace. It it also burns calories fairly quickly (about 110-130 calories per 10 minutes for a person that is 150 lbs-slightly less for someone lighter, or more for someone heavier). I have had my rope for a couple years now and have yet to replace the battery. If you'd like a little change in your work out with the extra added incentive of having your jumps calories counted, this just might be what you are looking for.

CJ6'Tanita CJ688-TB HealthyJump Jump Rope, Translucent Blue'
Having to count while jumping rope can take the rhythm right out of a good jump-roping workout. That's why this smartly designed rope from Tanita manages the numbers for you. It's easy to use--just enter your weight in the handle's LCD display and start jumping. The display keeps track of calories and jumps as you go, counting while the rope's in motion and stopping when it stops. Comfortable and large enough for big hands, the rope's handles are lightweight and easy to grip. Because it attaches with swiveling clips, the adjustable 10-foot rope doesn't tangle up if you choose to jump backward or crisscross your hands. --Emily Bedard
