Hello Everyone

Which pedometer/s can you recommend ... and which one/s are defintely not worth the trouble. I am looking for one that is accurate and easy to use.

Thanks,
Claudia

Cheap or freebee work well for counting steps. To translate steps to distance you must anyway calibrate directly. The problems come when terrain changes and the calibration has to change.

I'd also go for a cheap one. I have a couple I bought in cheap shops for £1 each or so, and they seems to give very similar results. To be honest, since you have to 'calibrate' them with your stride, which will vary almost continuously, it really isn't that important if they miss the odd stride; the error in 'calibration' will far, far exceed the counting error.

Try the Garmin Geko 201, simple, relatively cheap, waterproof, fun.

The expensive bit is the mapping software to make the most use of it.

Some years we tested a pedometer against a GPS ago over a 12 mile walk around Ladybower area, the pedometer was 3.5 miles short
