STEPS COUNT

[robkat]

Just finished charging Watch 6, and it shows 123 steps even tho I have not moved. Any ideas why?

Were you moving your arms back and forth at all? If so, that is probably the impetus for the extra step total.

on your phone, If you go into the health app, you can see a chart of an hour by hour breakdown of when you got the steps.
you can also see a list of steps and where they came from (scroll all the way down, show all data)

Since your watch was charging, it wouldn't have been on your arm moving. There's a good chance your steps were counted by your phone.

I was sat still at my iMac when steps were counted.
