Pedometers only measure steps taking. Not the distance of each step, your cadence, any uneasiness in your footing, or even more advanced things like wind resistance.
If you’re just someone who goes for walks and doesn’t care then a pedometer is fine. But if you’re serious about it you want something in/attached to your shoe to measure those things.
I think I would love to use some shoes that track how uneven my gait(?) is and if I need mismatched soles to correct it. An uneven walk can ruin hips.
My co worker has something he clips onto his laces for runs. I’d suggest something like this vs shoes that need to be thrown away in a year.
His device is like 5 years old, runs on a CR2032, and still works flawlessly. Not sure what the battery life is like if you’re using it every day for casual walking since it’s designed for exercising.
