Damn, that's a pretty low step goal for a full day... 2700?

I thought the normal average for good health was 10k

It's just for office days because I do a lot of computer time. I dont pay attention otherwise and have a different watch I wear for my normal outdoor activities. It's three times thicker and has no space left for health-related sensors or a pedometer. But if this one approximates just 1km is 1,000 steps, I'm doubling down on not needing to care about steps outside of office days.

Wait 1km is 1000 steps sounds like some pretty big steps

Yeah, normal step lengths are around 60 - 80 cm depending on height and pace

EDIT: obviously injured/elderly people are much lower, and running is much higher, which might explain the distance if OP's watch thought he was running

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
