Real world Test results v2.11.30 Step Implementation - INDICATIVE only.
I have only two two tests so these are indicative.
@Gordon I was wrong about the threshold - combine it wit X_STEPS = 8 and THRESHOLD = 17 and you start to drop 1000s of steps. Its in the checkin comments of stepcount.c back in september.
Method: I wore 3 watches on my left wrist. AmizFit BIP, Bangle 2 with 2.11.27 and Bangle 2 with 2.11.30. I used the RUN app with GPS and HEART turned off but it makes it much easier to count steps for a test.
AMIZ: 5438 10k (scalled up to 10K = 1.84 factor)
2.11.27 5455 10037 (scalled up by 1.84)
2.11.30 5166 9505 (scalled up by 1.84)
I have scalled these to 10k to compare what the step count might be at 10K steps. I have used the scaling factor of the AMIZ - this is just for comparison purposes. Really I would always like to test a 10K step stretch but it is not always possible.
This shows that 2.11.27 is 100.37% of the AMIZ which is a great result.
2.11.30 would be 95% of the AMIZ which is the trade off you get. Target is really 98%
HOUSEWORK - I did a test doing 1h44 housework BUT the 2.11.27 watch got poked somehow and rebooted so I lost the result as the steps got reset. This is the hazard you get when you try and wear 3 watches on the same wrist :)
AMIZ 524
2.11.30 482
The 2.11.27 was always higher.
What this shows is that maybe the threshold should be 15, 16 or 17 as 18 is making it too insensitive.
More tests to do.
