Steps

The Steps chart helps you track your daily movement, showing your total steps per half-hour period throughout the day.

Steps is the estimated number of steps you have taken today. Your Typical represents the average number of steps you usually take on a specific day of the week (e.g., Typical Monday).

Understanding Step Count Variations

Devices calculate steps differently, so variations in step counts across different devices are common. These differences can be influenced by factors such as arm position during activities, like pushing a stroller or working at a treadmill desk. Usage habits can also play a role: comparing NOWATCH step data with data from your phone, for example, which is not a wearable, can lead to significant discrepancies. These differences can add up and result in noticeable variations, which are common across many wearables.
