Steps count when driving and sitting.

Is that normal if your watch  caunts steps when you're sitting or driving in the car or truck? I have Samsung Galaxy watch3 update  now I have watch 4 and it's have same issue.

I have the galaxy active 2 and it has never counted steps while driving or just moving my arm. It uses GPS to determine if you're walking so make sure you have that turned on

First before driven second after driven ,and what a diferense between phone and watch steps readings.
It's makes my angry.

[RayONbay]

As far as I understand the GPS is ON

[RayONbay]

Today i driven for 7h and you can see what a diferense between wach reading and phone. That is ridiculous

[RayONbay]

By the way, Watch3 I send it back because I think it's faulty and then I'll have watch4 and is actuall doing the same thing

@RayONbay: The user manual does acknowledge this issue, and sadly I'm unable to find any information as a means of preventing it without taking it off, which I appreciate is far from ideal. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. 

"If you use the steps tracker while travelling by car or train, vibrations may affect your step count. "

In this case they supposed to add button to pause step counter.

[RayONbay]

I'm except 10or 50 steps p/h , but not 1000 steps to add per hour.

After 25miles driven it's added 136 steps.
