My Apple Watch severely overcounts my steps

so I work in a assembly line factory, and move my hands a lot like hundreds of times an hour, and I wore my watch for the first time today at work and it was severely over counted from what I usually get by using only my phone in my pocket to count my steps. Is there any solution here other than like not wearing my watch at work? I think even having it in my pocket would be redundant because keep cracking my heart rate and miscount steps by jiggling around in my pocket I suppose.
