Yeah, there's a few coming out now. The Garmin vivomove is pretty decent
looking (http://explore.garmin.com/en-US/vivo-fitness/)
Only problem I have with them is I actually like automatic watches, so I
don't really want a 'fake watch'. I just use one of the very thin fitbit
bands and I wear it on my right arm if I'm going to wear a watch. I
think, if you want to wear a watch, and you don't really care what it
is, it makes sense to go with one of them. I think pretty much all the
Android watches/Apple watch all do step tracking too.

My wife just bought a sort of more cool looking wrist band from Fossil
I think, that tracks stuff.
I think it was less $$ and probably has a manly version.

One thing to note is that if all you really care about is step
tracking, you don't even need the app, unless you buy the cheapest
FitBit that doesn't have a screen. Most of them have a screen that
shows you your step count. You really only need the app if you want to
do any kind of stuff with the data (like calculate calorie burn, sync
to another app, share with your friends, etc.)

I believe so, but I haven't tried it. You'd need the app to do
anything with it though, although it looks like there is one in
the Windows app store at least.

Nah, it works with Android (I have one.) Sends data to the
phone via Bluetooth, phone uploads it to the Fitbit website if
you want to sync it to other stuff (e.g. I sync mine to
MyFitnessPal.)
They just charge via USB, little proprietary cable that
connects to the back.

I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and determined to
use it until it no longer works.�
