I look at my step count while I am walking.I noticed it does not count steps instantly. It seems to do it in bunches. Is that the same for all 235 owners?
I base my assumption on the 235 using a single axis step counter on one simple fact that can clearly be demonstrated by just swinging your arm at a standstill. On the 235 doing this will result in steps being counted as long as you swing your arm more than 10 times. Try the same on the older Forerunner 15 and you'll see almost ZERO steps recorded. I've also seen many occasions when putting my hands in my pocket while walking the dog will result in very few steps being recorded on the 235. Sum it all up and the step counter in the 235 is poor in comparison to that in the older model 15.

If it's just an assumption based on your n=1 experience then why did you assert it as if it was a fact? Maybe you just have a faulty FR235 or FR15?
Hi
Any reason why when completing indoor runs sometimes it records accurately and sometimes it doesn't.
Last 10k it gave me over 10k in steps, todays 10k only just over 4k?
Really frustrating.
