Fitness trackers to track your steps that aren’t tied to Big Tech

A pedometer suits you if you want something basic that counts steps. They’re versatile, so you can clip them to your belt or waistband instead of wearing them on your wrist. All pedometers do is count your steps, differentiating them from fitness trackers, which can monitor sleep, count calories and more.

Some fitness trackers can even tell when you’re stressed! A pedometer is perfect if you don’t need all the extra features of fitness trackers. Here are our top three picks.

1. You just can’t beat this price

This small yet mighty tool can help everyone, from children to seniors. It has a large digital display, so you don’t have to worry about squinting at a screen while walking or jogging. It comes with a removable clip along with a lanyard.

Plus, it accurately tracks your steps as you embark on your daily trek. It’s also simple to use. You don’t have to worry about app connectivity, Bluetooth dropping out or any other high-tech headaches.

NESKLA’s 3D pedometer for walking has a reset button to restart your step counter. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry. You could even clip it on your pants or belt if you needed.

Combine that with its long battery life and you’re getting a ton of bang for your buck.

2. One of the best affordable pedometers comes from 3DFitBud

Simple and easy to use, this 3D pedometer is ready straight out of the package. It comes in eight colors, so you can customize it to match your workout gear. It also comes with a clip and lanyard for your convenience.

The 3DFitBud prioritizes simplicity while counting steps. Use it to view progress as you run towards your fitness goals. With its 3D Tri-Axis Sensor technology, it’s highly accurate. Even when you wear it in different positions, it keeps track of your movements.
