My fitbit is telling me I have active minutes when I am knitting. For heaven's sake, my right arm is moving but I am certainly not 'active'.

Then last week I had fibrillation happening for some time, my watch kept saying I was exercising - which I certainly was not doing!!

This did not happen with my Charge 3, it was much more cautious with 'active minutes'. Anyone else have similar experience?

Hi @SunnyBD  a friend of mine who knits will remove the Fitbit while making the latest cowl or shawl. The Fitbit is a wrist based device, so your hand movements will count as activity. Have you tried using the time while knitting to charge your Fitbit?

Thanks, great idea to use knitting time to charge.

Other one fascinates me - the fibrillation (I was in hospital!) and the watch is crediiting me with exercise. Now I am getting exercise from laughing!
