I noticed in another thread many of you use apps to count your steps. Is it because they are more accurate than the step counting in Apple's Activity App, for more in depth info, or another reason? Just curious.
Well, you can always "Hey Siri, how many steps have I walked" and it will bring you to the total in the Activity app on the watch without installing a third party app. (I know that a lot of people like to have a complication for this, though.)
At one point I used runtastic as my pedometer, but since the Apple Watch came out and Apple has put more work into the Health and Activity apps I find it better to stick with Apple.
I don't have any evidence either way, but I wonder if step counting apps have a negative effect on battery life?
I use runtastic to track my walks. Mainly I use to map the walk but also I like the idea of having my hikes/walks to be tracked separate from just daily walking. On top that I use my hands to make a living and well, I sometimes hit 10k steps before I have walked a mile do to hand movement.
