An increasing number of users are opting to wear their Apple Watch on their ankles instead of wrists, citing accuracy issues with fitness tracking. Reports suggest wrist movement can lead to inaccurate step counts, while some activities result in low step counts. The ankle position may better capture foot movement. Users have reported issues like tattoos affecting heart rate monitoring. Certain professions, like healthcare workers, have also adopted this method due to wrist restrictions, indicating a trend toward functional wear despite initial design intentions.
Wearing the Apple Watch on the ankle may improve tracking accuracy for fitness metrics like step counting, which could be hindered when worn on the wrist.
Some users experience inaccurate step counts due to wrist movement, while others in demanding jobs find the ankle position a practical solution.
