Fitbit mistakes arm movements for steps.

[gorapr]

I wear my Fitbit Inspire on my non-dominant wrist and set it up correctly in the app. I find that it's mistaking vigorous arm movements from battle rope and even shredding zucchini as steps. Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to take it off when doing battle rope cause I want to record the workout and heartrate too.

Hi @gorapr.  This is a known issue with all wrist worn trackers, all brands.  If you change the wrist setting to dominant, but keep wearing it on your non-dominant  wrist, you will change accelerometer sensitivity.  This will reduce, but not eliminate some of these steps.
