  They can probably guess your shoe size and leg length using the accelerometer.

    You can’t guess correctly someone’s shoe size and leg length using an accelerometer. There are factors that drastically change the results.

      Enough data over time I bet you could. Get a couple drop recordings, arm swing, common heights of beds/desks/chairs, you could find it.

      Would it be automated or easy? Hell no. But you can do it. We’ve discovered more with less

        You could track when people piss.

        Everyone’s bodies are all different in unique ways. Also some might have a limp, or crutches, prosthetics, different size feet, wider feet, extremely small feet(while being tall). There would never be enough data. Unless you were there in person measuring.

      Samsung health can track some crazy metrics from just the Galaxy watch. I wouldn’t be surprised what else they can accurately estimate. Pic of the data from a recent run. Image
