Ambulatory wheelchair user not getting walking credit (alien.top)

I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. On occasion I visit a place where I cannot take my wheelchair.

Anyone choosing to decry a historic venue that cannot be made ADA compliant, stop reading. Such responses are unwelcome. Besides, medical counseling indicates that I should walk some every day.

My series 8 watch properly records push motions when wheeling manually, but a 100 meter walk with trekking poles gets ignored by the same watch.

How do I get the watch to recognize this movement?

I have this issue too. Been an off-on ambulatory wheelchair user and just accepted my watch would give me any credit for walking/standing.
