Best way to track steps on daily walk

@bobgallen There are many ways to count your steps on land. I use a Fitbit or my phone.
My question to anyone on this site is does anyone have an effective device to count steps while water walking in a pool. My Fitbit doesn’t count steps in the water and I am 99% sure my IPhone would not as well plus holding it and not getting it wet would not be practical.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who has found a device that is waterproof and counts steps in the water.

I switched from Fitbit to ringconn fitness ring when my Fitbit stopped charging. No issues with water or anything else and like the Fitbit, there is no app fees.

The iWatch works quite well on land, with a walker and in a pool. I know this from personal experience. And you don’t have to be a subscriber.

@daveshaw The Fitbit and other devices like it are supposed to work under water. Have you considered trying strapping it to an ankle to see what happens?
Some people have reported using them this way on dry land.
I don't speak from experience, so I don't know how their waterproof claims hold up.
