Venu 3 step tracking off

Anyone else’s Venu 3 not tracking steps when pushing a shopping cart? Sounds silly I know but my Venu 2 did. It’s also not accurate on a treadmill. Like way off.

  • Not sure how the Venu 2 was able to track steps, but pushing a cart would certainly reduce the number of steps being recorded, since the accelerometer cannot detect arm movement.

    There are also instances where a lack of arm movement may result in a lack of steps recorded while you are walking. These may include, but are not limited to:

    • Pushing a stroller or cart
    • Mowing the lawn
    • Carrying a bag of groceries or a child
    • Holding the safety handles of a treadmill while walking
    • Holding hiking poles or sticks
    • Riding a bike
    • Holding a leash while walking a pet
