@Howat71, you don't mention which Fitbit tracker you have, but if it is a wrist-worn tracker it is doing what it is designed to do - counting arm movement as steps.

Hi, it is a wrist worn charge 2 tracker, so is there no way to counteract extra steps given as it does give a lot of "false steps" and driving when wearing it is ridiculous with the amount of extra steps! My colleague at work has the same tracker and she says she doesn't have this issue!
