Most of my non-running workouts don't involve steps. For instance I do a kickboxing/boxing workout pretty regularly and it counts steps based on my hand motions. If I work the speedbag for a few minutes, it adds up to a few hundred steps. As a result, I have to remove my watch when doing this workout and I don't get my heart rate recorded during this time.
Ideally, this would be a setup option for all of the workouts, except maybe the workouts like Run and Hike or anything that has the option to use the GPS. I would like to be able to go into the setup for a workout on the watch, and turn off step counting.
