Apple iWatch for activity/push tracking?

[RJC]

Hey everyone… I was wondering if anyone out there has an Apple iWatch that they use for tracking their fitness and activity. I'm trying to look for ways to remind myself during the day to be a little more active instead of sitting at my work desk all day. And also something that I can track my outings when I go to wheel to try to get exercise specifically to see how much I'm doing and how many calories I should theoretically be burning. Trying to lose some of that quad gut. I know apple claims to have workouts built into its exercise app, specifically pushing a wheelchair, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience if it actually tracks your pushing accurately or if it's way off and doesn't register well. I've heard conflicting responses from the few posts I can find online.

I use a Withings Steel HR, but the Amazfit range are pretty good and relatively cheap for the functions they provide.

I'm interested in this, as well. I used a fitbit last year but I felt that it was way off in overestimating how many calories I was burning each day.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Active2. I like it because you can choose the type of workout you want and then set it up from there. It doesn't specifically have a push tracker, but gives an "other workout" option. However, if you're accustomed to Apple's interface, I'd go with that; even if it is a little pricier. As far as accuracy goes, I've found it to be pretty accurate, though I'd say the only time I really track my pushes is when I'm in my rugby chair every week because the workout gets pretty intense.
