My question is how accurate is the step counter? I also have a step counter on my phone, but the Versa step counter and calories burned is way up there. Today it says I walked 16,488 steps for 3,700+ calories. That sounds way over the top. Swimmers burn that much. My Samsung 8 S Health app counted 11574, for 740+ calories. What's the scoop??

My Versa is accurate, have you tested yours.

 

Manually start a walk or run mode

Count off your steps .

Stop and compare.

 

I count every left foot then multiply by 2

I compare for 100, 200, 500, 1000
