Hi there, @berlin433. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Inspire 3.

In addition to the tips and recommendations provided by @Gr4ndp4, I was wondering if you have another app connected to your Fitbit account that could might be adding more steps? Mobiletrack maybe? Low-power step sensors inside your phone track your steps and send the data to the Fitbit app. We recommend using MobileTrack if you forget your Fitbit device at home. For more information, see How do I use Fitbit MobileTrack?

Hi, @berlin433, welcome to the community, you do not mention the time period over which you registered 750 steps. This article explains how steps are registered How accurate are Fitbit devices? and this article offers third-party advice on How to make your fitness tracker count steps more accurately - The Verge 

If you have acquired "Steps" you feel you did not take you can follow How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities? 

I hope this helps but if you are still stuck please post here again.

Cheers

Or in my case today, too few steps today.  I did a walk that the phone GPS said was 2.34 miles (FWIW, Google Earth says it's 2.54 miles).  Tracker says I took 3567 steps which would work out to a 41.5" step length!  I know my step length isn't anywhere close to that long, more like 33" for an exercise walk.  And when I run this route, I typically get between 4100 and 4200 steps.  This is the first time I've felt that the tracker under-counted my actual steps.
