how do smart watches count your steps?

It’s on your arm not your leg so how does it actually know how many steps you’re taking? And do things like how fast you walk and how long your stride is make a difference?

I have a relatively new model Fitbit and honestly it’s full of shit. It pretty evidently can’t tell the difference between me gesticulating enthusiastically while teaching and actually walking around. Thankfully I don’t take it too seriously but it does give me a jolt when it starts buzzing all of a sudden, congratulating me on 10k steps, and I’m just …doing a little dance about Tutankhamun, I guess 😂
