Turn off fitness tracking or take off the watch.

pausing steps count on apple watch Hi, I was wondering if there was any way of pausing the step counter on my watch, so it doesn't count my crocheting as steps? Also at work when I'm scanning things through the till, it counts the movements as steps! It's a pain having to keep taking it off and putting it back on, and I worry it'll fall out of my pocket at work! Thanks in advance

Apple watch movement for crocheters and knitters When I am knitting or crocheting, my watch thinks that I am walking, and it messes up all my daily goals and tracking... Is there a way to temporarily turn off activity tracking while I knit or crochet? I am taking my watch off if I remember it... but sometimes I do forget and it registers 1000 steps already by the time I catch on. Do you have any suggestions?
