How does it track steps? null

The vivosmart HR uses internal accelerometers that are built-in to the band to pick up on the natural arm movement while walking or running. By picking up on the arm movement is how the device is able to track steps throughout the day.

With regular walking it tracks steps very distinctly. When running or using an elliptical machinethe unit seems to fall behind then catch up. It keys on lower body movement.

Once the tracker is on your wrist, it adjusts to your movements so it can tell when you are moving or standing still. I am completely satisfied with it. You should look up the other reviews on this tracker.
