I recently replaced my Charge 2 with a Charge 5. As an experiment, I wore both devices on the same wrist and I'm wondering why they're showing different steps counts. Could it be wrist position?IMG_4234.jpeg

I would think you would be marvelling that they could be only 6 tenths of 1 percent different, especially when one is right up against the button of the other.  And yes, they are at different positions.  I would call that a great Fitbit test success.  But I guess that is in the eye of the beholder.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
