The smartphone and smart ring detect motion differently because of where they’re worn and how they sense movement, so differences in data are normal.

1. Difference in measurement method: A smartphone typically detects “pelvic movement” while in your pocket or bag, while the smart ring measures steps based on “hand swing and motion.”

2. Effect of everyday activities: When you do activities that involve a lot of hand movement (driving, brushing teeth, typing, gardening, etc.), your step count may temporarily appear higher than expected.

3. How to compare accurately: When comparing data, use the “total daily activity” as the reference. Also, wear the ring in a size that fits snugly so it doesn’t rotate on your finger.
