Apple Watch Underreporting Steps During Badminton

Hi all,

I’ve noticed my Apple Watch (Series 9] significantly undercounts steps during badminton. While calories and heart rate are tracked accurately, step count is consistently low—likely due to limited wrist movement while holding a racket.

Other devices like Garmin capture steps more reliably in similar sports.

I would appreciate any advice or workarounds. Also, is there a way to formally request Apple to improve motion detection for racket sports?

Thanks!
