Feature Request: include foot pod in step count

Will the Vivoki overwrite the steps tracked by the watch in an activity? Can it paid like a footpod to be the driver during said activity? I recently got a zwift runpod and it does not track steps. 

Vivoki only counts steps, it does not deliver any running dynamics data like foot pods do. It will sync steps data when your watch is not connected. I do not know how it works when you wear both the vivoki and the watch in the same time, but I guess that the watch takes the priority (as long as it is set as the priority tracker).

hmm so not what I need then. My wifes Venu 2 plus has the worst step tracking I have come across in a fitness tracker. Step tracking happens to be the most important metric to her as well. Back to the drawing board of trying to find a footpod that will sync while she uses the walk activity and track steps.

I do not think it is possible to use a secondary device counting steps, as long as you simultaneously wear the watch that is set as the primary activity tracker. You better have the Venu 2 replaced, if it does not count steps correctly.

So I was skeptic on it as well but here is what a Garmin rep told me:

As long as the foot pod is paired to your watch as a foot pod it will override the watch and record as the sensor for step data while you are in an activity.

As for replacing the Venu 2. This is already the second one. The first did the same thing out of the box. This one worked as expected for about 2-3 weeks and then got way off. At this point I am more inclined to believe its a software issue or maybe even a bad sensor being used for the Venu 2's.
