Steps wrong when using crutches.

Just had hip replacement so interested in my steps as I try to get going again. I am using crutches. On my iPhone health app it says I’ve walked almost double what Harmon says. I think iPhone health is more accurate. Why is this? Can I get Garmin fixed?

Because you probably wear the phone in the pocket, where it can sense the steps. The watch can only sense the hits of one of the crutches, when worn on the wrist that holds a crutch.

No, but you can wear the watch in the pocket as well in order that it can sense the steps.
