Would be nice if the app in itself would count steps using the phone instead of relying solely on the watch. I still want to keep track of my steps even when my watch is charging. It takes 2 hours to charge and usually I'm still very active. I know there are apps outside of Garmin that do it. It can count steps just by having the phone in your pocket.
Would be great if you could even do activities through your phone too as you wait for the watch to get charged up.
