Fitness/Step Tracker

One of the primary reasons that I purchased the gear S2 was for the fitness tracking. I take spin class multiple times a week, but can't get it to register that into steps. Has anyone faced this issue before? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I don't think any non-specific fitness tracker (remember, your smartwatch is NOT a dedicated fitness tracker...it has fitness tracking capabilities, but limited ones at best!) will be able to translate spinning into steps unless you're swinging around your arms with every wheel turn. Yes, the vibration on the wrist while pedaling might trigger a few step counts, but it won't be near as accurate (not even close, either). For those activities you'd have to manually input the information in your fitness tracking app for calorie/activity approximations.
