The pedometer has to be calibrated by the user
Actually you have to input the size of one of your step. Everytime a pedometer shakes it records a step. The more your waist shakes (which occurs when your walking) you will gain distance!
A pedometer is a device that counts the number of steps a person takes by detecting motion using a sensor. It is often used to measure physical activity and track daily step counts to promote health and fitness goals.

Speedometer or pedometer.
A pedometer tracks the number of steps a person takes and converts that count into distance based on a pre-set stride length. When you walk, the device detects each step using mechanical or electronic sensors. By multiplying the total number of steps by the average stride length (typically around 2.5 feet for adults), the pedometer calculates the distance traveled, displaying it in miles or kilometers. This allows users to monitor their physical activity effectively.
Multiply by your average step length in miles.
A pedometer attaches to a belt buckle, and every time you take a step it records it. It's a very handy, simple tool that works and is higly effective.
The term "pedometer" originates from the Greek words "pous," meaning foot, and "metron," meaning measure. It refers to a device that measures the distance traveled by a person on foot. The concept of tracking steps or distance dates back to ancient times, but the modern pedometer became popular in the 18th century.
