Hi! Just got my Galaxy Watch yesterday. And already today it stopped counting steps. It counted a little and then all together quit. I reset it multiple times and after the third time it counted 50 steps and quit again. Any one else is having this issue?

I would like to know if the step count issue has been corrected. I too tried everything and still the count was way off at the end of every day. I did return my watch...I am continuing to use my S3 Frontier which seems to work fine. I wanted the new Galaxy watch as it is waterproof and I want it to use during swimming. If you know of an update to the software is available please confirm....thanking you

This is not a good answer for such an expensive smartwatch...."turn this off or that off"...shouldn't everything be working prior to the products going to market...not happy with Samsung right now and I have almost everything made by them....poor customer service.....

Back after a few weeks, reading back a few pages was hoping for a fix by now...

Is the moderator even still on??  I've not seen any updates or suggestions on how to fix this problem in a while.

 

I wore my new Galaxy watch and my old self today.  My watch started with a few hundred steps and I put the S3 ok.

 

The Galaxy watch had 2099 steps while the S3 had 5027 - that is a ridiculous disparity.

I did a 3 hour cardio class, watch counted 1k steps.  Looking for a fix because watch is perfect besides step count and HR monitor for cardio
