Steps not counting on treadmill

I've just started walking 30 minutes a day on a treadmill, but my Pixel watch 1 isn't tracking any steps. Each time, I've used the dedicated Treadmill activity in Fitbit.

On the first day, it literally recorded 0 steps, so on the second day I made sure to really exaggerate my arm movements etc and got a grand total of... 18 steps 😅

It's tracking heart rate and calories, so I would be fine but unfortunately I'm also linked to Vitality app and get points for steps, so it'd be great if it was working. Does anyone have any tips?

What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?  I usually have to restart the device in order to get the step count going again.
