Hello All

The work I do request me to sit a lot as I'm IT System Administrator, I try to walk at least 10K steps a day.
I have Samsung S5 and there is Health App and pedometer says I walk at least 4k to 7k a day. There are days when I'm active with my Kid a lot and app says I walked only 5K or 60 mins in a whole day. We are at the park and walking a lot.

Do you guys know any Pedometer that's Accurate not the the last step but something that will show how much I really walk in a day?

It can be an app or hardware device.

    I'd suggest something like the Garmin Vivofit. I really like it as its on my wrist and there's a notification when you haven't been active for an hour. It has a battery that lasts a year so there's little worry about having to charge it. I also have a job that requires me to be a desk all day and I find the constant reminder on my wrist to get up and move very useful.
