step counter accuracy workaround

walker over 2 years ago

I wear my watch on the left wrist but it seems overestimating step counting.

What about if I set it as if I wear it on the right wrist? Would this improve accuracy?

TIA

Hello, in my case, wearing the watch on the left wrist implies that I register 20% fewer steps than on the right wrist.

Hello! I would wear the device on your dominant arm.

Hi, now i'm a bit confused.

I thought wearing the watch on the dominant wrist increased filtering (i.e. fewer counts) . That's the reason I had set the right wrist even though I wear the watch on the left one ... I'll do some more tests.

Thanks for your kind feedback!
