Apple watch counts half of the steps

My apple watch (6 series) counts half of the steps.

Any ideas?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

Thank you for the explanation. I will check that.

So, for example when I walk in the house, shall I conclude that the Apple watch is not counting steps? It would be a quite useless device then.
