Hi,

I am thinking of getting a step counter. I don't want an all singing Blue tooth connected to smart phone etc just a normal wear around your neck or attach to your waist one.

What would other members advise

Thanks
 
If you have a mobile phone, you could use something like samsung health.

I stick mine in my back pocket whilst walking and it gives duration, steps and distance very accurately.

Thanks but do not want anything that is on a mobile phone as rarely carry it, only take in car for emergencies.
 
I use something similar to this: Omron Walking Style IV Pedometer - Black https://amzn.eu/d/83JA3t2

Sits nicely in a pocket and is small and light. Sure I didn’t pay that much for it though, so shop around.
 
Thanks to those with advice, have just bought the Omron, just what I was after, the others on ebay look rubbish with poor reviews.

This is one I've purchased from Amazon can be attached to belt or round the neck with lanyard supplied. Is not BT.

Thank you for your reply. I looked at the reviews for that one and they were only average many saying that it was not overly accurate.
