The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Using mobile phones to determine transportation modes (2010, methodology): “It consists of a sensor, such as a mechanical arm, magnetic switch, or an accelerometer, and software that counts steps based on monitoring upward and downward motions [Crouter et al. 2003; Schneider et al. 2004].”
Accuracy of Fitbit Devices: Systematic Review and Narrative Syntheses of Quantitative Data (2018, methodology): “We focused our interpretation of measurement accuracy based on predefined acceptable limits for measurement accuracy in controlled settings as a percentage difference of ±3% and acceptable limits for relative accuracy in free-living settings as a percentage difference of ±10% [19-22].”
Comparison of two waist-mounted and two ankle-mounted electronic pedometers (2005, methodology): “mounted pedometers also enhances comparability with previous studies (Le Masurier et al. 2004; Le Masurier and Tudor-Locke 2003; Schneider et al. 2004; Tudor-Locke et al. 2001, 2002a, b). Finally, waist-mounted pedometers have greater ease-of-use, and are well suited for behavioral interventions s”
