The Ionic does not record distance, pace, or accurate steps when pushing a stroller.
I do not want to take off my $300 watch and put it in my pocket (leggings don’t usually have pockets anyway) when I walk with my daughter. I will never, ever be able to meet my workout or step goal if I can’t count stroller walks each day.
If I track the walk with the stroller, the GPS will record a map of my walk, but not the distance, even though GPS is on.
My current solution is to track my walk as “bike” and then go into the app and change the category from “bike” to “walk”. Since the “bike” option tracks my distance via GPS it will convert to a mile pace, but I still don’t get that distance counted in my Daily Miles for some reason. I wear my old One to count steps, and STILL don’t get a correct daily mile/distance count (even though my stride length is automatically calculated.)
Hopefully this makes sense. I find it a serious problem that the answer is “take it off and put it in your pocket” (and not record any HR data...some ‘fitness tracker’!) or to wear 2 devices to get an accurate step count.
