Hi.! I have been a fitbit charge user for past 5 years.. recently bought a charge 5 and I usually run for on threadmill daily basis. And accoridngly as per the distance shown on threadmill I edit my distance on fitbit which actually shows less.. for earlier fitbit it use to happen .. but for charge 5 even after I EDIT it’s getting back to the original one measured.. can anyone help me on this pls.

I solved a similar issue by placing the Fitbit device in a side pocket or in my sock at the ankle when my arms were motionless (think recumbent machines, shopping carts, etc.). But keep in mind that this will skew your heart rate info during this time. For me, it’s worth it.
