Why is the step count on the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 deviation larger in necklace mode?

The step count in necklace mode only supports daily walking. In other scenarios, such as cycling or running, the larger movement can cause significant deviations in the step count. The band, when worn as a necklace will not accurately detect footfalls, leading to inaccurate counts. Additionally, the change in wearing position affects the sensors' ability to capture movement data as precisely as when worn on the wrist. For more accurate results, it is recommended to refer to the step count while walking when using necklace mode. For other types of activities, it is advisable to switch back to wrist-wearing mode to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
