step counter

Hi all

I would like to know if anyone can recommend a good accurate pedometer.

I have an app on my phone but it's not accurate and tells me I be done more steps than I have. I.m still in bed playing on my phone and the app tells me I.ve done 16 steps today already. I must be a bed walker ?

I can't afford a Fitbit so looking for a reasonable priced pedometer.

Re: step counter

I use the phone app, as atm can’t justify buying a Fitbit or pedometer.

Re: step counter

Hi LC I have a simple pedometer that hangs around my neck on a lanyard or clips to a belt. It cost me about £15 a few years ago and is still working well.
Mine is by Nakosite and is a bit like these...

Re: step counter

My son keeps saying I should get one of these fitbit type things that would monitor my heart but to be honest if I wore one I would end up panicking every time it gave me different readings

Re: step counter

I loved my pedometer and thought I was doing so well until I realised it was adding steps when I was travelling in the car!

Cheap and accurate,

I just bought one of these and have given it over to my grandson after a day

Counted my arm movements so I had done 3000 steps whilst stood in the same spot

Right now, like Lion Queen Im looking a simple pedometer that clips to my belt that only measures actual steps
