Google Fit and steps

[Ryan Connor1]

Hello Jerry, quick question that I can't seem to find a quick answer online. I use an OG Moto 360 and a Nexus 6P I was just wondering how the steps are counted in Google Fit. Are they counted from the watch or the phone or both? I work in an office and when I get up and leave my desk I don't always take my phone but still have the watch on. Also which is more accurate? Should I turn off the step counting on one of them? One other thing, is a fitbit or other dedicated step counter better then the phone/smartwatch combo?

Thanks and keep up the awesome work you and AC do.
