My arms don't move when walking on a treadmill (I need to hold on with both hands) and when walking with a rollator walker. Will Apple watch still record my steps accurately? Thank you for responding.

No, your watch counts on arm movement for step accuracy. I use recumbent exercise machines and often a walker. Here are the tricks I've learning over time:
Please keep in mine that while these methods are good for capturing steps, they will skew any data that counts on the back of the watch actually making skin contact. I find them to be good, though imperfect solutions. Good luck!

Thank you so much, Carol B., for the creative, doable suggestions!
My pleasure! We all have to work together to stay as healthy as possible!
