@@LeSkinnerthat's not gonna make a huge difference. Arm length, stride length, arm swing, and watch positioning all vary greatly from person to person. More so than the difference of positioning an inch off. In practice, there could be some affect, but you wouldn't think it would be such a big difference. Technically, if there's any affect, if the user has longer than average arms, wearing the watches higher would likely increase their accuracy, and wearing lower would decrease accuracy. The reverse should be true for people with shorter than average arms, if there's an affect at all. I'd say he has longer than average arms, so you'd think if anything the watches higher up would be more accurate, if positioning affects accuracy at all.

I think for most watches simple walking or running is the easiest case when counting steps. Major differences start to appear in how watches intepret random daily hand movement as steps. Especially Fitbits have been notoriously bad in counting your daily step count by giving you steps basically from any hand movement. Fitbit's daily step counts tend to be wayyy over estimated. Then there's Polar who even tells that they don't even count real steps but their own equivalent steps meaning they covert any activity to steps. What your daily activity would equal to just walking this many steps. So, in the end, it is almost impossible to reliably compare different brand's step counts with each other. Steps are mainly good for showing your own baseline with a certain watch and how your activity varies daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

@nylotical4 ай бұрын
I wonder if the wrist location actually matters or if they use other sensor data to improve stride identification over time. It might be because those watches need to be recalibrated. Or it could be that tightness on the arm impacts how they count a step, with loser watches being more sensitive. He could compare four 1000 step walks wearing four of each watch to see if they had any variability.
@sixty-six4 ай бұрын
This would vary based on your body type. Realistically, if your arms are longer than average, then having them higher up on your wrist would be a closer placement to people with average arm length. And then if you had shorter than average arms, the closer to the wrist would be closer to the average arm length user. For me, higher up the arm makes the steps more accurate, but for my partner who is shorter than me, higher up the wrist makes it less accurate. Body type seems to play a big role, and the natural guess would be that someone with long arms like marques, that he'd increase accuracy by wearing it higher.

@@McP1mpin I'm not sure on the specifics of how it works, I think that's just for the workout session's specific data (started manually from watch), it always tracks steps though regardless of whether or not you started a workout (through the watch). I'm guessing there's other extra data that gets tracked when a workout is triggered, but isn't always being tracked any other time (to preserve power and stuff like that probably) Edit: the watch can detect for movements that may indicate a workout, and so that's why it asks if you would like to start workout if you haven't already started one manually yourself
it only prompts to start a workout if you’ve been walking 10+ minutes without an active workout session. then if you say yes, it’ll retroactively start your session when it thinks you began.
@@Agnes.Nutterit literally missed 45 steps out of 1000 though. A 4.5% discrepancy is quite big, given that the pixel is cheaper with a .2% accuracy
Thanks for making. I noticed a bias in the experiment that might make doing it a second time helpful. The two watches that were actually on your wrist in the normal position (Pixel & Galaxy) gave more accurate results. To be scientific, I think it would be great to do the same walk again with the watches swapped, to see if the Garmin & Apple Watch get more accurate when they’re in the natural position. Just curious.
Did you do the calibration on each of those watches beforehand? They need a while to adjust to your stride etc.

The two most accurate were the ones one on the natural wristwatch locations, and they would experience a slightly higher force when reversing direction as they’re further along the arm. That would make them less likely to under-report, as the others both did.

2 variables (ignoring dedicated pedometer, although it still applies): - Device - Monitoring position on body For the watches, this means left vs right wrist AND either on the wrist or partially up the forearm. You could make a full video testing all of these watches against professionally operated and calibrated medical equipment on various different features (BPM, EKG, blood oxygen, body composition, sleep tracking, etc)
Samsung&Google was right and left wrist. Apple&Garmin where higher than wrist so thats perhaps the prebkem
Agree the two watches lower on the wrist were more accurate.

@@merbudd The Apple websites clearly states that the watch needs to be in a certain position in your hands for the readings to be accurate. Also cnet did this similar test and the Apple Watch was the only one who was below 1% deviation, .03%, everyone one else was either 2% or higher. With that said , they made a note that that was Apple Watch calibrated, uncalibrated, straight out of the box, had a 10% deviation so yes, hand position matters and calibration matters as well.
@@merbudd it'd be like sitting at the front, middle and back of a car. The suspension will feel a bit different for each one. The same way that the models on the watches will have been trained/tuned/tested for the typical wearing position.
you should try it again but place the other two right above your wrist line. i think that’ll make the test better. i think these watches measure best when placed exactly where they are supposed to be. which is why the galaxy and the pixel had the most accurate results. I THINKK LOL
@@z3k1cunfortunately I am too poor to buy 4 smart watches on a whim. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence the most accurate watches were the ones worn directly on Marques’ wrists.
The pixel watch 2 will be most accurate because it is placed on the prefect side of your wrist and also on the left arm closer the the heart so rhythmic count on steps with heart rate will be most be perfect as the manuals tell you exactly where to place them compare to the placement of the rest..As the Galaxy is too..
The pixel and Samsung were closer to your wrist which makes them more accurate, the best way for accurate comparison to have them on the same level.

I am curious if he miscounted. At this point I trust the Pixel more than his count.

This test would be much better made separately with the watches being worn properly. EDIT: Stop @ing me I really don’t give a shit if you can understand the concept or not.
@@LeSkinnerthat's not gonna make a huge difference. Arm length, stride length, arm swing, and watch positioning all vary greatly from person to person. More so than the difference of positioning an inch off. In practice, there could be some affect, but you wouldn't think it would be such a big difference. Technically, if there's any affect, if the user has longer than average arms, wearing the watches higher would likely increase their accuracy, and wearing lower would decrease accuracy. The reverse should be true for people with shorter than average arms, if there's an affect at all. I'd say he has longer than average arms, so you'd think if anything the watches higher up would be more accurate, if positioning affects accuracy at all.
@@theboxofdemons coincidence the than both the garmin and the Apple Watch were the same amount of inaccurate while the other two were closer? 🤔

fug, right in the nostalgia
I’m honestly surprised Apple is that far off. I feel like this should be a bigger deal, considering how much they push it as a premium fitness device. I guess they are pushing us to give 105% effort! I guess it’s more accurate with GPS used in conjunction, but what’s strange for me, it usually shows I burned more calories with GPS off just using the motion sensors. If it’s under counting using sensors, then why does it think I did more? Makes me wonder if there is a wide variance over in addition to under.
Apple is just really good at marketing
Both the garmin watch and Apple Watch were higher up his arm and they were both inaccurate by 5%. My guess is there might be a connection. Not really sure why though. Maybe it’s detecting less arm swing overall since it’s higher up and it reads that as fewer steps taken? I have heard good things about the garmin watch so pretty odd

Thanks for answering those questions we're too afraid to ask.
Now I want a comparison to phone based step counters. To see if a watch is even needed.
Did you notice that both a bit more off at around 960 steps (vs 990s steps) are the ones above on the wrist. Does the difference in distance and angle be the issue?
Some nice drum and bass in the background
My guy is building the infinity gauntlet of smartwatches
Sweet, I was about to get a Galaxy 6 but knew they were all off lol. Theres no way they can actually judge it 100% just by arm movement, but that one is 2nd closest, and I'll take it! Thanks man, and do you still have your robo dog?? Lol that's when I started following you.
I wear my Garmin Vivofit on my ankle. I bought it with a men's large band so it would fit comfortably. I calibrated it on a treadmill so I get fairly accurate mileage. Seems to work. Can't stand wearing anything on my wrists 🤷♀️.
lol always wondered this
I think for most watches simple walking or running is the easiest case when counting steps. Major differences start to appear in how watches intepret random daily hand movement as steps. Especially Fitbits have been notoriously bad in counting your daily step count by giving you steps basically from any hand movement. Fitbit's daily step counts tend to be wayyy over estimated. Then there's Polar who even tells that they don't even count real steps but their own equivalent steps meaning they covert any activity to steps. What your daily activity would equal to just walking this many steps. So, in the end, it is almost impossible to reliably compare different brand's step counts with each other. Steps are mainly good for showing your own baseline with a certain watch and how your activity varies daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
i love that on some days my phone already counted 30 steps when i didn't even get out of bed
The ones on your wrist were more accurate because that's the ideal placement for them. I think the tests for the Apple and Garmin devices were flawed since they were positioned above the wrist level.
Nobody is talking how apple has the least accuracy 💀💀
Yea, I Saw that !!! Why is Nobody talking about this ? I was looking for this comment.
Apple Watch doesn't even show the step count in real time. It might not have been displaying the last steps when he checked. I've done the same test before, then sat down for a few minutes before I checked and it was nearly spot on
Yes of course. Fanboys are active again and no one dares to be as honest as possible. Apple users are in shock and just don't want to believe it, even though they see the truth 😂😂😂
@@mstiic I literally counted the steps myself on my way to school back in the day when I got my Series 3, what's wrong with me saying that in my experience it was accurate 😂
@@anianii they didn't just write down the number immediately anyway so that "give it some time" argument doesn't work. Also why would a step counter not count accurately when the user needs it. U saying every apple user has to know that there is a delay for ther counter to work. Also how did the rest of them get it right then? Why no delay in others but apple? Ur argument is trash tbh.
Apple did horrendous, but of course let's never point out Apple is bad....
I'm here thinking if it was just me
Let’s not point out that the tho worst were closer to the elbow and the two best were closer to the wrist
@@PetrovichErochinbro thinks he has a point. GPS and motion tracking are a thing, it doesn't matter if it's close to the wrist or in the shoulder.
@@alimora5489 lol gps is not used to count steps😂
@@PetrovichErochin but is used to track where you move and it keeps updating so it can gather speed, hence if you're going at walking pace it is going to activate motion detectors
This is the type of experiment content we need 🙏🏼
I miss my Microsoft Bands. This is not a joke. They were outstanding, ahead of their time, and more accurate.
a thousands wow, and pixel again nice
Now that is some drip right there 😂
But might the positions of each watch on arms (only two of them are on wrists) have impacted the counting?
Would have been amazing if you would do the same steps but with the phone step counters, because way more people use those than smart watches i think
We just going to ignore that apple sucked the most?
Yes he is, Marques has always be in Apple's pocket. He criticizes other brands for things that he won't even mention when it comes to Apple.
Just like the Garmin it was further up his wrist, hence why they were off by around the same amount.
Yo Marques, you have to have the watches on your wrist for it to be accurate. I tried this just after I watched this, the higher watches always get a lower (inaccurate) count than the watch worn correctly on the wrist.
I wonder if the wrist location actually matters or if they use other sensor data to improve stride identification over time. It might be because those watches need to be recalibrated. Or it could be that tightness on the arm impacts how they count a step, with loser watches being more sensitive. He could compare four 1000 step walks wearing four of each watch to see if they had any variability.
This would vary based on your body type. Realistically, if your arms are longer than average, then having them higher up on your wrist would be a closer placement to people with average arm length. And then if you had shorter than average arms, the closer to the wrist would be closer to the average arm length user. For me, higher up the arm makes the steps more accurate, but for my partner who is shorter than me, higher up the wrist makes it less accurate. Body type seems to play a big role, and the natural guess would be that someone with long arms like marques, that he'd increase accuracy by wearing it higher.
I've got a Galaxy Watch 4 and it's... okay in this regard. However, I've found that if you're doing any kind of walking where you're *not* using your arms or otherwise moving the watch (think pushing a grocery cart or carrying something), it won't count at all.
I used to work at a doggy daycare and walked a lot so I was step counting (and checking my phone but I have a thing with numbers and just had to count myself -.- it’s annoying and I hated counting everyday but worth 20k steps a day, didn’t need to hit the gym and I was still healthy lol) But I would count every step with one foot only and only count to half my goal because you’d double it since you have two feet xD
