info.currentCadence reports to Connect IQ apps steps in some devices and revolutions (or pairs of steps) in others during a Run activity. Even for some devices, the reporting is inconsistent across firmware versions.
The Fenix 6 used to report steps but with more recent firmware reports revolutions, while the Forerunner 735XT continues to report steps. So the Fenix 6 will report a cadence to Connect IQ apps of 90 when the Forerunner 735XT reports 180.
I don't mind either option, but the inconsistency across devices is a pain and leads to many user complaints. It would be great if this could be fixed and all devices reported cadence in the same way. Failing that, even a list of which devices report steps and which devices revolutions when updated to the latest firmware would be useful. I am gradually compiling such a list from users, but it takes time and requires recompiling and updating a new version every time.
From what I have seen, many data fields are affected by this and some have turned to temporary fixes, like letting users choose between seeing cadence or cadence * 2, or (my case) deciding what to show on a device-by-device basis based on what users are reporting their device is doing.
