Step counters

Sunshine_And_Sand

Any recommendations for a reliable step counter. I'm not interested in a heart rate monitor feature and don't care about it syncing to MFP. Just a reliable step counter.
Any suggestions?

Your phone might already have a step counter built into it.

If you really want a dedicated step counter, then just go with an old school pedometer. They're super cheap and readily available.

I use an app called Pacer on my phone, but some phones have step counters too. I have also used a Jawbone bracelet, a Fitbit and an UnderArmor Band. All of them are fairly accurate.

Fitbit Zip clip on that counts only steps or FB One, also a clip on, that counts steps and floors.

I assume by reliable you mean accurate? There was an NIH study on accuracy here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5214549/

Excerpt: When compared to the actual steps, the Sportline™ brand (−3.83 ± 22.05) was the only pedometer that was significantly similar. The other three brands significantly under-estimated steps (Fitbit™ 55.00 ± 42.58, SmartHealth™ 43.50 ± 49.71, and Omron™ 28.58 ± 33.86), with the Fitbit being the least accurate. These results suggest an inverse relationship between cost and accuracy for the four specific brands tested, and that waist pedometers are more accurate than wrist pedometers.
