Incorrect step count

[Slavafit]

Fitbit Charge6 does not count steps correctly. When I lie down and stand still and just move my hand, the steps increase.

I didn´t wear my Charge 6 the whole day, it was in a drawer - the App on my phone shows 405 steps, well?

You didn't just "lie down and stand still", in the video you selected the Activity and pressed Start and then swung your wrist around, and the Charge counted your arm movements, showing that it's working as designed.

I showed that he does not count steps, but hand movements. For example, when I eat or drink coffee while sitting still, he counts tens or even hundreds of steps. For example, today I took a shower, brushed my teeth and dried myself with a towel in a small bathroom and the fitbit counted hundreds of steps for me ..

@Slavafit yes, it counts arms movements like any other wrist worn tracker/watch 🤷 steps are estimated based on assumption that when you walk/run you move your arm with each step but tracker isn't able to tell whether you really making steps or not. This is a limitation of wrist worn step counters. Nothing unusual.
