Do you use a step counter and do you like it?

I've tried 2 of them recently - and both are duds. The cheapie one called "Minder" actually works better - but it has a large reset button, and it keeps getting accidently pushed.

The other one was a bit more pricey and has a lot of fancy "stuff" and programming required - and it keeps resetting itself. The reset button on it is tiny - so not sure how it's doing it.

So I'm looking for something fairly easy to use - I don't care about distance/speed or any of that - it's the steps per day that I want to keep track of it. Perhaps with a flip front like a cell phone has would stop them from resetting accidently?

I use; and am extremely happy with; a CVS/Life Fitness branded version of this pedometer:
GOsmart™ Pocket Pedometer with Advanced 2D Smart Sensor Technology

Although it does have a reset button on it's face and is not designed like a flip-phone; I've never had an issue with it accidentally being reset.
And I keep it in my front pants pocket all the time; along with glucose meter; car keys, etc ...

Look at the Omron pedometers online. I know a diabetes educator who recommends that brand.

Thank you for the recommendations - I'm just looking those up now.
