Step Count observation

[Dave47]

Before I got a B2, my L640 counted steps and sent the data to the MS Health app.

Now that I have a B2 it too sends step count data to the same MS Health app.

Wonder how the Health app handles this. Anyone?

Suppose I can just disable Motion Data on the phone but you'd think this would be mentioned somewhere unless I missed it.

I don't have my Band 2 yet but when I set up the Health app on my Android is asked if I wanted it to track steps etc with the phone when I don't have the Band on.

So I'm guessing from that it will know to disregard steps from the phone If the Band is counting steps.

So I'm guessing from that it will know to disregard steps from the phone If the Band is counting steps.

I also interpreted that phrasing to mean that the step count from the phone is only figured for periods where the Band wasn't worn.
