Kind of Unbelievable Step Counts

For the last couple of days I've gotten huge step counts.  Both days showed about 17,000 steps each over four hour periods.  They corresponded to periods when I was riding my tractor, mowing my pasture.

I sure would like to believe those counts rather than dismiss them as Charge 6 measurement anomalies.

They are likely from vibrations up through your wrist on the tractor.  Not usually that extreme, but I read of it in other cases too, such as truck drivers, bicycles, fork lift drivers, all getting false steps from vibrations being interpreted as steps.  And it is not just the Charge 6.  I think it is common to all models, unfortunately, and I have not read of any way to avoid it.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
