Apple Watch Step Count Indoors is Completely In...

Hi

Just purchased AW 3rd gen. It works great outdoors. Workout app counts distance during "Outdoor walking" flawlessly. But once I get home things just go crazy. Activity app step count is beyond incorrect. I would stand up, take 5 steps to window, 5 steps back... and it would log something like 50-60 steps! Not every time, but more often than not. As a result I accumulate 1-2 km of activity in 3-4 hours virtually doing nothing. Mostly sitting and on rare occasion moving around my room and going to the kitchen once or twice. So what should be like 100 steps AW counts as 1-2 km.

My only guess is that GPS signal inside is in and out, hence such mistakes. Any idea how to make it right? The whole idea of activity app is to see your real activity level. Not just log in some non-existent steps and kilometres.

Thanks.

Hi

 

It may help to calibrate your Apple Watch, resetting your existing calibration data and starting afresh.

 

Follow the instructions here (the process can be just as beneficial for Apple Watch Series 3 models):

 

 

During general daily wear, your Apple Watch relies on your arm motion (measured by the built-in accelerometer) when estimating steps and distance. For the best results from the Activity app, be sure to allow the arm on which you are wearing your Apple Watch to swing naturally during calibration and, when possible, during general daily wear.

 

Activity-related estimations also depend, in part, on your personal information. It may help to check that this is accurate:

 

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > Edit - tap and adjust items, then tap on Done.

Done that. I did calibration and resetting. Didn't help. For example, today I took a walk of 12,36 km using Workout app and it was spot on. But now Activity app shows 14,73 km. However, besides that walk I was mostly sitting and lying at home. I barely moved. Still I accumulated more than 2 km. Makes Activity app totally useless.

For future reference, when asking questions here, it is best to explain at the outset all of the steps that you have already tried.

 

This helps to ensure that you receive constructive replies (and is also appreciated by those who may invest their time and effort in trying to help you).
