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.

Thanks, but I do not see how this is related to my question.
I will elaborate.
What happens is that the number of steps that are counted are way off from the real number of steps, in my case by about 50%.

The watch only records steps and distance according to the criteria above so for 50% of the time you are not meeting that criteria.
