When I do laundry fitbit auto-misrecognizes 5 aerobic workouts and a walk (I'm a few hundred feet from the laundry room). Total BS.

Today I removed a truck tire from a wheel by hand, which is actually kind of hard without the right tools. Fitbit auto-misrecognized a 37 minute outdoor bike ride and there's no option to fix it, only delete.350/350

If I delete it it's gone, meaning my exertion in removing the tire won't be logged. If Ieave it, the All of Us Research Project (who gave me the fitbit) will think I went biking. Why can't I just correct the activity? Or, perhaps a better question would be, why am I getting auto-misrecognized exercise credits for things I can't type in 350 chars

When I sort laundry, "swimming" is recorded. I am a fast sorter but not that fast. Same issue. Don't want to delete it but also don't want it miscategorized.

Me too. Activity is way too high for someone who's injured.

whenever I touch laundry, it says I am swimming. I really don't care for myself but it is inaccurate for All of Us.
