I bought the Samsung galaxy watch 42mm to record my steps on the treadmill as having my phone in my pocket is cumbersome.
While on the treadmill I hold onto the handle infront of me and there is little action in my wrists.
I always start treadmill activity on the watch so it records how long I've spent but theres no steps. Even if I could enter the distance the treadmill displays, this would help me somewhat track my progress.
Also it does not display flights of stairs correctly as I go up and down stairs at work and home and it still displays none or 1 flight. The other day i did 1 flight of stairs and it come up with a really high number.
Overall for a 300£ device, i am a little disappointed.

I am having the exact same issue. Using the galaxy watch on a treadmill grossly under-records steps (like 100 on the watch when the treadmill says I've walked 1500) and I go up and down the stairs many times per day and my watch rarely records even 1 flight.

I too am frustrated at my Galaxy Active 2 not recording my steps on my treadmill.

Yes I am facing the same problem too. My Galaxy Active 2 is not recording steps on treadmill.

I have the Samsung 4 watch and have the same issue. I put it on the treadmill setting and none of my steps and distance are recorded on my watch...just the time and heart rate. 3 to 5 km work on the treadmill each day and nothing added to my monthly step count...any fixes on this yet?
