Pedometers

Pedometer

— this category encompasses devices primarily designed to count the user's steps or measure the distance traveled. Additional measurements integrated into the design, such as movement speed, energy consumption, and distance traveled, are directly related to step counting. Pedometers typically utilize accelerometers to detect characteristic shaking during walking, though some models use GPS for distance measurement instead of individual steps. Specialized variations, such as those for swimmers, may focus on counting strokes while retaining key features found in traditional pedometers.
