If your watch counts other hand movements as steps, though, I guess it might. I was thinking chopping veg or knitting, which are both things I've noticed by Suunto seem to clock as steps. I am not responsible for anything else you might be thinking.

fetcheveryone Apr 2021 1:44pm, 1 Apr 2021 25,810 posts	0 fetcheveryone Hiking and Nordic Walking have been added to the list now. If there are any other sub-categories that should be included, do say.
