Hi! I bought a under-desk treadmill (work from home) and when i ”start” workout routine as indoor walk it seems that do not track calories/steps as it should. There’s a workaround for fix this?
Got a tip for us?

Same problem here. I've recalibrated it on my Ultra 2 watch and still won't. It is about a mile off when I do an hour walk at 4.2 mph. It says 3.2 miles instead of 4.2 miles.

Is that where you sit on your chair and your feet move on the mat? If so, it wouldn't be equivalent to an indoor walk.

Can you post a link with a picture of what you are talking about? I don't own an under-desk treadmill, but every one I've seen has looked something like this: https://www.lifespanfitness.com/products/tr5000-dt3-under-desk-treadmill

If your wrists aren't moving like they would be during a walking activity, your Watch can't track the activity correctly.

Mixed Cardio. All you need is function of heart rate and time to give calories and exercise minutes.
Forget steps, 20th century nonsense!
