Do you happen to use a pedometer that is reliable and has nice, big numbers?

I'd been using pedometers from the dollar store, but they are not reliable and the little wires that contact the battery never stay where they ought.

Does anyone here happen to use a simple pedometer, that is reliable and has nice, big numbers? I'd like an inexpensive, easy-to-read, reliable one.

Thanks.

I like the one by Omron. I bought it from Amazon. I think it was $18.00.

I tried an Omron and thought they were too bulky. I picked up this guy from Dicks Sporting Good's for a few dollars less than the SA price. He's cute, compact, stays put very well, and I can clip him various places not just at my waist. I'm vision impaired and I can read the numbers faily well; they are slightly less than 1/2in high. Hope that helps.
