The principle of step counting is that the Redmi Watch 4 has a built-in acceleration sensor, and the data detected by the acceleration sensor is then combined with the algorithm and the basic information of the human body, which is ultimately converted into information such as the number of steps and consumption.
For your reference, factors affecting the number of steps recorded by the watch are as follows:
1. Because the watch measures the walking distance by estimating the step length based on personal height, gender, and weight, and then multiplying it by the number of steps taken by the individual to get an estimated value;
2. The step length varies from person to person. Even people of the same height, gender, and weight will have different step lengths, so the final calculated value will also have a large error;
3. The accuracy of the step count, that is the number of steps, has many uncertain factors, which are closely related to each person's behavioral habits, such as the amplitude of arm swings in walking habits, etc., and there are many human activity scenes (such as walking, riding in a car, driving, taking a bath, etc.), and the arm movements are more complex (such as typing on the keyboard, moving the mouse, lifting and pulling objects, etc.);
4. It is because of the above reasons that the distance finally calculated by the watch is also an estimated value, and the watch cannot be used as a professional measurement tool to measure distance;
5. The watch updates the step count once every minute, not every second in real time;
6. The steps of the Redmi Watch 4 and the third-party applications are not stacked statistics, but take the maximum value;
7. Mileage and pace during sports are determined by time calculation, and the pace will only stop after 10 seconds of stopping exercise (completely stationary).
