Procedural Approach

Now I’m starting to second-guess myself because of the author’s condescending tone, but… Shouldn’t you wear an Apple Watch on your shoe instead of counting steps with it? In any case, it wouldn’t mistakenly count steps when all you were doing was swinging your arms. That makes a lot of sense.

It’s not hard for a smartwatch to mistake arm motion for walking. Out of curiosity, I once wore my smartwatch on my right hand while strumming a guitar, and by the end of a two-hour session, I had logged seven thousand steps. Putting it on your foot might give you a more reliable total. That’s all I’m saying.
