with this you don't need to move your arms
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are pushing anything wheelchair, stroller, shopping Cart it will not be accurate. If your wrist is not moving like it does when you are walking with empty hands it won't count your steps. Your better off with a pedometer that clips to your clothing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have been surprised at what it picks up walking while holding my backpack strap or pushing a stroller. very accurate steps and stairs

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you find that it is not measuring steps and distance to your satisfaction you can change how it measures the steps and distance in the device setting option on your Garmin profile to make it more accurate. It has a default setting for measurements that I find to be very accurate for me most of the time. If i count my steps and then check the tracker it is usually only off by 1 or 2 steps at most times. You can change how it measures though.
