S Health detects vehicle motion as footsteps

[silverfang77]

Long story short, when I'm riding on a bus, it detects that as he walking, even though a bus goes much faster than a human pededtrian.

I know steps can be passed via menu, but keep forgetting to do so. Is there a way to edit, delete or reset steps for the day?

Turn the app off when you're on the bus. Turn it back on when you get off.

Try riding a motorcycle. According to my watch, I should be a competing bicyclist. 45 mph average speed. Lol

Wow. You'd think these devices could tell by the speed we're moving at that we aren't walking or biking. Are we expecting too much of them?

My Galaxy Watch tracks cycling when I cut the lawn on my tractor. That's an easy workout!

Oddly enough the Pokemon Go app has no problem detecting whether I am walking or driving. Maybe Samsung should learn from Niantic. LOL
