I bought a Garmin Venu SQ to replace a fitbit inspire 2. Never had a problem with the fitbit tracking steps while I was mowing . However the Garmin did not. It told me, after 2 hours of mowing that I had walked 600 steps, not 4 miles. When I contacted Garmin they told me the step counter only tracks arm swings, not steps. I said the fitbit I had that was three years older had no problem tracking steps when I was pushing a lawn mower, and I expected more accuracy from a device made three years later, not non functionality. Back the Garmin is going, and now I have to wonder what fitness watch I can buy that actually will count steps.
