Apple Watch SE I am about to buy an Apple Watch and need some help please. From reading I understand a series 3 will not track steps while pushing a pram/stroller, a Series 6 will track steps while pushing a pram/stroller. Does an Apple Watch SE track steps when pushing a pram/stroller? Thank you!

Walking wheelchair user - can someone with a watch test a question for me please! Does anyone know how the apple watch will cope with a wheelchair user who also walks? Will the watch be able to tell the difference between a step and a wheel push if it's in wheelchair mode? Will it still track steps as movement, even if as a push? If not can the wheelchair function be turned on/off depending on the circumstance? e.g when I'm at home I can turn it off to track my steps around the house and when I'm outside I can track my pushes in the chair? As I'm not sure there will be many people who can answer this question if anyone (disabled or not) could stick their watch in wheelchair mode and see what happens when they walk around a bit that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
