So after upgrading to a blaze from a fitbit, tonight I noticed that when I washed my sons hair in the sink I did 150 steps and just now I applied some handcream and racked up a further 70 steps. Seems hand movement is being excessively read. Very disappointed.

@Piper02 I'd switch your 'Dominant Hand' setting to 'Dominant'. This will decrease the tracker's sensitivity so that extra steps aren't picked up.
