Apple Watch
Q: Step counter WAY inaccurate
OK, I've read a number of "calibration" threads out here, and leave my iPhone and Apple Watch pretty much calibrating always.
Today, had a ton of year work to do, including cutting grass, spreading ant killer, raking, burning wood, etc. Decided to keep my iPhone in my pocket the whole time, and of course, the watch on my wrist.
iPhone records 15.5K steps for the day, which I'd estimate to be fairly accurate to the number of steps I've taken. The watch records 7.1K - less than half.
WTH? Is this expensive chronometer not supposed to also be a fitness device? Can it not do any better than this? What is the key to getting this thing to do something simple like count steps?
