Some rowing exercise sessions count steps...

Just bought this charge 6 to 'replace' my pixel watch. I noticed one out of 6 'rowing' exercises I did significantly counted steps, practically one per stroke. The other workouts logged maybe 50. This watch should know I'm rowing if I specifically tell it I am. Same workout, nothing different. Why fitbit, why?!

@Cacheola this is normal for all Fitbits. By design, step counting is never turned off regardless of the tracked activity. This way you get steps from cycling (due to bumpy ride) or swimming (swim strokes become steps). In the world of Fitbit, it's intentional behaviour.
