Apple Watch counts rocking in recliner as steps

I wonder if it would be possible to set up a geofence to not count “steps” in my apartment. Most of those steps are not steps at all. Alternately, the Health app could count steps more accurately using my iPhone instead of my Watch, since the iPhone isn’t in my pocket while rocking, but is in my pocket when walking.

Any thoughts on this? I know I could take my Watch off while in the recliner, but that’s just not practical.
