Any way to add steps afterwards?

Any way to add steps afterwards?

for example for the steps i did on a walking pad while my hands were on my standing desk

I tried strapping the strap of my pixel watch to my shin, but then the steps are inaccurate, and about 10% are not counted

Hi @dulakzu2   You can't add steps directly.  You must log a walk manually.  Tap on the "+", then Activity in the Log section.  Use Walk.  You add distance, not steps.  If you log one mile, then the Fitbit app will add the number of steps based on the stride length in your profile.  A rough starting estimate is 2000 steps per mile.

You can also try changing where you wear the watch on your leg.  This position change will change the input to the accelerometer.  Try wearing above your 'inside' ankle bone.

Hello @dulakzu2 

Just wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Charge 6 product help forum to the Android app forum since you mention that you are using a Pixel Watch.
