I have a problem with the Fitbit charge 6. I manually set the activity I am doing such as spinning or cycling but it still records the activity as steps. My step count is huge!  In the activity log, the activity is logged as spinning etc but there is still a huge step count. Any tips?  At the moment I am really disappointed with how this is working. I found an app to connect the Fitbit steps to apple health but I disconnected that given the really inaccurate step count.

Strap it on to your ankle instead of your wrist. Works when on trainer or on outside bike.
