What to do if the Xiaomi Watch S3’s step counting is inaccurate?
The principle of step counting:
The watch has a built-in acceleration sensor. The data detected by the acceleration sensor is then combined with the algorithm and the basic information of the human body, and finally converts this information into information such as the number of steps and consumption;
Factors affecting the number of steps recorded by the watch:
1. Because the principle of measuring the walking distance of the watch is to estimate your step length based on the height, gender and weight set by yourself, and then multiply it by the number of steps taken by the individual to obtain an estimated value.
2. Because the step length varies from person to person, people with the same height, gender, and weight may also have different step lengths, so the final calculated value will also have a large error;
3. The accuracy of step counting, that is, the number of steps taken, also has many uncertain factors that will have a great relationship with everyone's behavior habits, such as the walking habit of waving arms, etc. (such as walking, riding, driving, bathing, etc.), and arm movements are more complicated (such as keyboard tApping, moving the mouse, lifting and pulling objects, etc.);
4. It is precisely because of the above reasons that the final calculated distance of the watch is also an estimated value, and the watch cannot be used as a professional measuring tool to measure the distance. We will continue to optimize the software algorithm to calculate more accurate data.
Note:
The watch will update the step count multiple times every minute, but it will not update the step count in real time every second.
