I’ve been on the lookout for gamified pedometers. Something like a Tamagotchi that grows up as you get steps in. Saw some old examples of this in Japan, but nothing in the US market yet. Any recommendations that aren’t an app and don’t need the internet?

    I don’t think there’s much of a market for new stand-alone pedometers anymore, with phones and smart watches doing the job much more accurately and conveniently these days.

    If you want vintage ones, I really liked the digimon ones back in the day, and there’s also the pocket pikachu or pokewalker that had some integrations with the mainline games. They’re quite expensive now, though.

        Yesss, those were objectively the best ones, because they were my first. One birthday my mom got one for all my friends so we could battle all night
