Hi, I mostly sit down all day when i'm at work. The apple watch counts step while i'm sitting down, I guess because i'm moving my arm arounds. I would like to know how to fix this because I'm acheiving my goals while sitting down it's annoying.
Thank you
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6
You move your Apple Watch arm, and the Apple Watch thinks you are moving, which is assumed to be walking. The Apple Watch does not know why your arm is moving, it only knows the accelerometer is accelerating/decelerating, as if your arm is swinging while walking.
You can strap the Apple Watch to your ankle and then it will track your actual walking.
Personally, I juggle beanbags to get my hourly standing credit.
Thank you. Is it gonna detect steps even though its off if I do a workout after ?
Tap on privacy and it's in there.
Where is this settings on the watch app ?
thank you for the answer
Turn off fitness tracking in the watch app on the phone.
No you have to turn fitness tracking back on.
Apple Watch counts too many steps at the office
