Step counter showing much steps than real, normal?

Hi there,

Lately I purchased this watch. I was really excited about it because I read in reviews it was pretty accurate. But the thing is not. I would like to ask if something similar is happening to you.

For example in these pandemics I'm working from and some days I dont even leave and it counts to me like 2,5 kilometers. That's crazy, it must be wrong.

Is something similar happening to you? today I went out walking for walk about 6,5 Km (checked with google maps), and it counted me 8,4 Km. I'm very disgusted with this error, because then data showed in the watch is nothing to me. It's useless.

I haven't tried it yet in the pool because I'm thinking about returning it.

thanks

The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles. It's a good idea to find out how many steps a day you walk now, as your own baseline. Then you can work up toward the goal of 10,000 steps by aiming to add 1,000 extra steps a day every two weeks.
