Apple Watch Step Accuracy

Sometimes I check my watch before bedtime. Last night at 8:00PM is showed almost 16,000 steps. That matched my buddy who I played golf with. Two hours later I looked at it again and it only showed 13,000 steps. This 'rollback' has happened more than once. Why? And how do I stop it from happening again?

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 16

Try and restart the watch to see if the issues persist. If they persist, you can try and calibrate your watch
