Watch with mechanical pedometer?
Anyone interested to get one if it’s available? Form what I know, mechanical pedometers have been around since the 1500s. Is it too far fetched to include this as a watch complication? Would be cool have it integrated in our beloved mechanical watches than carrying a separate fitness band / watch.
Interesting question
I think it would be difficult to add it on a wrist watch due to the arm movement.
Early pedometer hang in a strap around the neck or in pocket...

I’m not sure both the mechanism dedicated to the watch and the one to the pedometer could work together without disruptions
I found this interesting article on the web:

For a pocket watch, yes...
but for a wrist watch I think a mechanical podometer is out of the question.
There are, however several quartz/"smart"-watches that have podometers that work very well.
The signal treatment necessary to eliminate the arm movement from the steps counted is, however, non-trivial.

True.
I guess that’s why Frederique Constant came up with an e-Strap. Battery powered as usual.
