Do modern AW register steps when pushing a stroller? (alien.top)

I’ve experienced this problem on some other smartwatches and I wonder if that happens for modern AW.

My Ultra seems to do it alright even when my phone is in a pocket on the stroller itself. Maybe it is fudging it based on distance and speed though.

It’s the first comment that says so. Is it the first or second version?

First. I’d have to test again to be sure, but I’ve tracked lots of walks with stroller. I do use Peloton to track the workouts rather than the built in workout, so that could be calculating steps as well.
