Do I have to put my apple watch in my pocket for it to accurately record my steps on my treadmill or will it accurately record on my wrist while holding on to the grips on the treadmill? I am using pedometer++

You have to put it on your wrist and swing your watch arm.

Apple Watch & steps My Apple Watch doesn’t accurately count steps when pushing a cart. I walked nearly thee hours shopping while pushing a cart and it tracked 300 steps. Now I’m slow, but not that slow. I carry my phone too, but it’s in my purse hitchhiking a ride in the cart, so not helpful. Is there a way to track more accurately when pushing a cart?
