I use my wife’s old Fitbit charge as she’s now an Apple watch user. I strap it to my ankle and forget about it. The ankle thing is actually pretty accurate, but the heart rate monitor feature isn’t reliable when you put it down there. The Fitbit unit itself isn’t accessible, but the iOS app is completely VO accessible. Very handy as I have a treadmill as well as an exercise bike.
I also use the vibrating alarm feature as my alarm in the morning so I don’t wake up my wife who is absolutely not a morning person Cristóbal From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2023 7:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Tracking distance walked Try putting your phone in your front pocket so it moves with each step and see if that works.

I was bummed because there was a weekend where I had gone on vacation somewhere, and my apple watch wasn’t working for some reason, but my phone was. I had walked about a million steps during those couple days, but they never registered. 😊 From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2023 7:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: RE: Tracking distance walked Where do you carry your phone?

I use the health app, but it only works for me when I’m wearing my watch. If I don’t wear it, my iPhone won’t pick up my steps. I’m not sure why. I look at my results on my phone, so I know that the phone is talking to the watch. I wonder how I can fix this.
