Pedometers: accurate? worth it? experiences?

I was wondering about your thoughts and opinions on pedometers. Are they accurate? Do they work for trail running? Any suggestions for brands? I started running on trails that I can’t get the mileage for, and don’t want to blow $100-$200 on a gps watch. I need somewhat accurate distances so I can get a good reading on how fast I’m running. Pedometers seem like the best thing for my budget, but I question how a $5 little gadget can give me good results. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. I sniped a Garmin Forerunner 205 on eBay for $86, so I think there are options for not spending a ton on a GPS. I absolutely love mine and don’t want to run without one. I love the automatic routes so I can see where I wander. I love using mapmyrun.com to create a new route, then load it and follow it. I love the splits and the pace data.
