Can anyone recommend a good pedometer or fitness watch that counts steps, distance and calories burned?? Most of the ones I've seen are for runners and not walkers. Thanks!

    You could try the fitbit.

    I really like my Omron HJ-720IT, it works really well and I can keep it in my pocket. It also has a USB feature and I can download my data to the computer, but I think they have an identical cheaper model w/o the USB feature.

    We have several made by Sportline in the family. Fills your criteria. Sells from $20 to $40 depending on features.

    I use the fit bit and am happy with it but I also use a polar 6 for calories. I will admit that at the end of the day the calories for both are close. Fit bit is not real good for weight training (calories)

    Is it worth 99.99- I was checking their website and it looks really cool! I am on a bit of a budget- sooo is it gimmicky or is FitBit really worth the money? Please let me know!

    I started with a Polar F6. I LOVED that HRM.
    However, I am moved on to fancier gadgets as my fitness geekness has grown.
    I now wear a BodyBugg (similar to the FitBit).
    It is the bomb.
    It is an investment, however, if you need the additional feedback and help finding out your most accurate calorie burn and other data, it is totally worth it.
