Can anyone suggest a good and somewhat accurate pedometer? I've tried apps in my Android like Accupedo and Endomondo. Thanks for your suggestions! :) Have an awesome day!

    If all you want is to know how many steps you took in a day any Walmart will have an Omron pedometer. It really doesn't give you any information that's useful other than to maybe get moving more. Steps are just steps, the pedometer doesn't know if they were fast, slow, running, going upstairs, wandering to the refrigerator or bouncing on a rough road in the car. A HRM used for exercise is a far more useful piece of equipment.

    I've got the Tanita PD724. Very accurate and only £25.

    I got an Omron HJ-112 several months ago, based on positive Amazon user comments, and have been very happy. It has several nice features. It's accurate on a belt, arm band, even in my pocket. It tries to log steps and 'aerobic steps', although I don't really use that feature. Total distance based on the stride length you enter (although those are always best taken with a grain of salt). Best of all for me, it has a 7-day history so I don't have to remember to log my steps every day. I think it was around $20, money well spent.
