My Apple Watch tracking steps count inaccurately

Did you make sure that your watch arm is also moving back and forth during the walk?

This movement is counting the steps you take. If your arm is not moving, because you are carrying a bag, walking your dog on a leach or pushing a stroller, for example, the watch will count less steps.

To view you steps from previous days with the Apple Watch, click on Steps under Activity. You'll see a page featuring a graph. Each orange bar on the graph corresponds with a different day of the week. Click on the one you want to view.
