I got a new fitbit Inspire 3. It is tracking less. Against google map and apple watch which both tracked around .75 Km, fit bit tracked 0.4Km. I don't carry my mobile with me so I believe fitbit was using its internal GPS. Thx

Hi @Kaminspire  the Fitbit is a wrist based device and needs you to swing the arms while walking so all those steps get counted. Might this be the case? Maybe experiment once more and see.

@Kaminspire Inspire 3 doesn't have built-in GPS and it needs your mobile phone to use its GPS.
