watch isn't calculating my steps correctly

Gab es irgendeinen Grund, daß der Arm sich nicht typisch für einen Spaziergang bewegt hat; z.B. Kinderwagen schieben, Händchenhalten, Arm in Gips, Arm vergessen?

I was using walking poles as it was a steep elevation.  Also, I received no stairs even though the climb was 735 elevation.

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

Die Wanderstöcke können tatsächlich die Berechnung der Schritte negativ beeinflussen. Da die VA5 leider über keinen barometrischen Höhenmesser mehr verfügt, misst sie auch keine Etagen mehr (höchstens per GPS, aber das wäre zu ungenau).
