After extensive research and testing I have compiled a list of the top five choices for pedometer watches. You might not agree with some of my choices and everyone is entitled to their own opinions but these are the five that have worked for me in my running and walking fitness routine. They also look damn good.

So without further adieu, here are the Pedometer Watch.com’s Top 5 picks for best pedometer watch currently on the market. Use them to track distance, walking steps, calories burned, and all sorts of other statistics. They combine the aesthetic value of a sleek looking sports watch with the age-old technology of the pedometer. When you turn these babies on they will immediately begin tracking your steps and when you slow down to a sweaty halt, they shut off automatically as to make sure and only count those steps that matter.

1.    The Sportline Pedometer Heart Rate Watch 960:

sportline960-pgPrice:$66.23 This one makes it to the top of the list because of the design. I love the minimalist black wrist strap and silver clock face. Not only is the Sportline Pedometer a step tracker and stop watch but it also manages to keep track of your heart rate through a finger pad as well. You can use this particular watch to track daily steps by having it calibrated to automatically turn on at certain times of the day or whenever it feels you moving or you can choose to stick to the hard stuff and track only those steps you do during your regular workout routine.

2.     New Balance Sports Monitor

newbalanceviawrist-pgPrice:$78.99 New Balance makes some great shoes and they make even better sports equipment. This pedometer watch model can also track both daily and aerobic steps and it even gives you the option to set goals and will spit out progress reports when you want them. It doesn’t have a heart rate monitor but the other functions it has make up for that: 100 lap chronograph, stopwatch timer, and daily alarm. The cost isn’t too bad either.

3.    Polar AW200 Activity Watch

polaraw200pgPrice:$88.00 This watch is purely for the dedicated power walkers and runners. It doesn’t have the option to track casual daily steps and that is one of its drawbacks. However, there are some other great functions like the barometer and temperature displays and the altimeter that shows elevation changes as you make your way running along the Alps or something like that. I have no idea why it is market for over $200 retail though, at a price like that it should do a lot more and at least have some sort of goal setting function.

4.    Tech 4 O Accelerator Watch
