Step counter on Fenix 6 Pro Solar

Good morning,

I have a couple of questions about the step counter on my Fenix 6 Pro Solar:

1. I was wondering if the watch counts the steps correctly. I've noticed a difference between the step number on the watch and that on my mobile phone.

Also, how can the watch take into account how long my step is?

2. Is there any way to see (on the watch) the distance I've walked without activating any specific sport/activity (such as walk/hike etc)? I can see the overall steps walked in the last 12 or 24 hours but not the number of kilometres.

Thank you for your help.

Well, the watch can't measure your steps, of course.
But you can enter your step length in the Connect app.
This must be measured…

This must be measured before entering, simply walk a known distance and count your steps, so for example 50 m equals 80 steps, a length of about 62 cm.
You enter this value in the app. Your steps and the resulting distance are then taken as an average value. Of course, not every one of your steps is the same length and there will be differences in the distance covered.

Where can I add the step length in the app? I can't find that.
