I understand that there is a hardware limitation for tracking steps when pushing a stroller, but shouldn’t it be possible to derive steps from a walk activity when using gps? Pushing a stroller for two kids one-handed is not possible and is frankly a safety risk. Even pushing a single-child stroller one-handed is questionable.
A practical solution would be for the tracker to use GPS data to estimate steps based on walking speed and distance rather than relying solely on wrist movements. This would accurately count steps when pushing a stroller and could even be used to calibrate the watch. This seems like it should be a built-in feature regardless of whether one is pushing a stroller or not.
Please recognize that many parents rely on these watches as well. At some point a competitor is going to wake up and make this available.
