Changing wrists changed metrics!

I recently injured my left (non dominate) hand and had to switch my Blaze to my right (dominate) hand for several days. I changed my Blaze settings to reflect the change. The number of steps and calories burned was CRAZY different--much, much higher. I recently switched back to my left wrist and  changed my settings and the numbers are considerably lower. Why?! Which one is more accurate?! I  don't like this. Any ideas or information?

Hey there @Gfos! Thank you for the details that you've mentioned. There's going to be a difference in the information that you get, because the dominant wrist setting decreases the sensitivity of step counting and will reduce any over counting, instead with non-dominant wrist setting it will increase the sensitivity and reduce any under counting of steps. You can learn more about it by checking How accurate are Fitbit devices?

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
