Personally, I prefer a heart rate monitor ... which will keep track of your calories expended and is alot more accurate. Polar makes great ones!!
I've tried the best pedometers and none of them come close to the accuracy of my Polar ...
Just my two cents.

I have an OMRON HJ112 Premium Pedometer
Price range: $30.75 - $35
I got mine cheaper by buying it on eBay.
Functions:
- Tracks distance traveled in miles along with amount of calories burned
- Advanced technology provides added flexibility to count steps while pedometer is placed in your pocket or clipped to your belt
- 7 day memory function
- 1 year warranty
Seems very popular, has gotten a lot of really good reviews.Comment
