Unfortunately, it's mediocre. The step count differs only slightly from the actual numbers shown on the watch, but that's the least of the issues. Changing the settings in Connect IQ doesn't make any difference at all, and the same parameters are always recorded in Garmin Connect, regardless of whether I disable a given function or not. The distance traveled, calculated based on step length data, is very inaccurate and unnecessary. An option to disable it in the settings would be useful.
Excellent app, being able to record the activity step total is really useful for me! The Dev was so nice to bring this excellent data screen to the Enduro 3 when I asked.
Exactly what I wanted - to be able to see how many steps to my step goal on a data screen within the current activity. Thank you!
