Step count accuracy? Sleep tracking? Have updates improved these?

I'm considering purchasing the 42mm and most of the reviews I've seen on the watch are almost a year old. Many report poor step counting and sleep tracking. Have these functions improved with recent updates? Thanks!
 
I cannot answer about the galaxy, but the galaxy active is pretty accurate IMHO. I believe they are both on the same software.
A coworker has the Galaxy and returns to work tomorrow from vacation.
I will ask him in the afternoon.

I have the 46mm and for me it has been 5-10 steps off.
 
I feel that my 42mm Galaxy is relatively accurate for step counting, certainly not crazy off by any stretch.

Previously, I had a first generation Fitbit H.R. watch that always seemed to give me extra steps that I didn't deserve.
