Step Counter Watch
I posted a thread on this topic some time ago, well this is how it works.
The watch contains a small accelerometer, which is an instrument that detects movement.
It therefore detects arm movement.
On the assumption that in walking the arms swing, the corresponding arm swing is translated into steps.
No arm movement, no steps.
So if your watch arm is holding a shoulder strap, in your pocket, carrying a bag or riding a bike etc. there will be no step count.
Verdict - fairly useless, but of casual interest.
You can make it count any number of steps, sitting down and swinging your arm. 🤣
