@Egika Sure. However, two examples:

What if I set myself a steps-goal (e.g. next workout, I want to walk 15.000 steps). I recently was on a walking workout with my wife and had my workout running. Suddenly my wife was asking: I already have 10.000 steps. How many do you have? I could not answer the question as the workout display would not tell me the number of steps. Only at the end of the workout - when I completely stopped and saved the workout - I could answer the question, finally.

I know, this might sound silly for professional sportspeople like you. But as the steps are counted anyway, why not making them available as datafield for displays during workouts? That should be very simple to implement, I suppose.

Thanks.

@Ultrawalker Hi. You are correct, the Vertix 2 experience for me wasn’t that great. Battery life and GPS were fine, but a bunch of things I didn’t like piled up to me selling it after 2 months, and I just didn’t like how Coros executes the UI and graphics. Totally personal too but I just found everything a little bit cartoonish.

@juhis70

I’m facing a similar situation with the steps recorded.

I am undergoing rehabilitation after a hip surgery and I have been cleared to walk outdoors using crutches whilst tracking pace, time and distance.

Everyday I walk the same route, and the first 3-4 weeks the device was registering similar values like my previous activity band and Apple Health.

However, since about 2 weeks ago, the step counting has decreased significantly, the steps on Apple Health and the activity band remain as they did before.

Is there any calibration process I should consider?

@saq10is - remove your profile form the GFit app, as you don’t get any benefit from using it (unless there is a specific reason you want it…)
Since Sept 20 update to GFit where they changed how the sync works - data is often delayed and or never populates the GFit app, plus with recent API changes some data like HR will not now sync.
GFit also now seems to recalculate steps and calories.

So unless you have some specific need of GFit that the suunto app doesn’t already cover, would suggest removing profile to solve any GFit issues by not using it.

PS - daily details missing on Suunto app - assume that you could see those details on your watches today widget i.e. it is actually recording steps?

@egika very good point - should have added that. And completely agree with you that certain activities shouldn’t generate steps.

@Marco-G --> I think you will find that what Egika has said is correct, and that is the way it should be. You might find that any indoor activity doesn’t include steps, as would only be able to count them via movement sensors, which is unlikely to be accurate, however if outdoors, then yes activities like that may count steps. But yes agree water sports, cycling i.e. activities where you aren’t actually making steps shouldn’t count towards steps.
ps - Garmin does the same - missed my step target on days I went cycling and swiming as neither days kms counted towards steps (and correctly so).

@juhis70 said in Running cadence only half most of the time. Running steps incorrect, too:

Anyways, my running is going well

And that’s what matters the most. 👍

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Yesterday’s is fine so it must just take time to show up. I use the apple health app and it never feeds the correct step count to that app but did record my work out activity to that app just fine.
