This is the Jawbone UP band compared to s5. For some reason, s5 counts the double number of steps as the Jawbone band. I trust the Jawbone band way more

Maybe the jawbone only counts every other step?

Nope. I did a few test walks and s5 counts it as double

Basically, the s5 pedometer is a useless gimmick, unless you divide by 2.

Most of the pedometers aren't accurate anyway. Every one I've come across I can get it to increment without taking a single step.

I'm not gonna even try to defend the pedometer, in the s5 or the gear2 neo. I don't even think mine are in sync with each other, but it is nice to know I achieved some sort of goal.

Even if the count is way off, my weekday habbits are similar enough that it is nice to reach a goal.
