I use American Sign Language as one of my primary languages and my watch sometimes asks if I'm on the elliptical 😂

Fitness trackers missed so many of my steps because I was often pushing a stroller or shopping cart.

Is there a better way to measure instead?

And it doesn’t count walking or standing where you aren’t moving your arms- like shopping with a cart or cooking 😭

Used for walking 🚶🏾, it’s accurate enough, esp since arm movements in line with steps. What do you want? Actual steps? Big deal. 😏

What if I put my hands in my pockets while walking? Will it not track these as steps?

I have to take it off my dominate hand when thrift shopping. I move the hangers so quickly it counts it as steps
