I have not received my watch yet.
I'm curious if my steps will be counted while holding the handrails on my treadmill? (someone on a AW5 FB page said yes...) I don't see how it could.
Right now, I put my Fitbit Charge 3 in my pocket when using the treadmill.
Thanks for your replies.

I have a series 3 and if I'm using the treadmill with hands on the rail it will count if I'm using Indoor Walk
If I'm using Indoor Run it will not count.
But as a safety note, you're not supposed to hold the treadmill arms while running anyways.
I use outdoor walk all year long when outside and it counts it with my hand in my pockets.
Main differences that I know of
Indoor vs Outdoor...indoor does not use the GPS whereas outdoor does
Walk vs Run ....run has auto pause on both indoor and outdoor and walk does not
Different metrics for run vs walk on both
Have a look at the metrics
iPhone>My Watch>Workout>Workout View>Multiple Metric
Have a look at all the workout types and you can see the metrics that you have.
You can not select all per workout as the watch will only display a few ( I think it is 5)
but the app will collect all this data though.
Now you piqued my curiosity - what does the watch measure differently when using Indoor vs Outdoor walk (or run)??
