47,000 steps by 10am? I don't think so.

My Ionic is registering over 47,000 steps for the day at a distance of .66 miles.  Houston, I think we have a problem.
I don't want this day messing with my badges and logs.

Too many steps

Thanks for your help!

There are more people who had this problem.

In most cases, the watch was lying on a nightstand or table (sometimes while charging) with a fan blowing air around it.

This made the table vibrate a little and change the airpressure around it.

So check that this is not your situation.

That could be exactly what happened. I put a screen protector on and was
supposed to leave the watch off overnight. It was put on my night stand
where we run a small fan while we sleep. Can we correct the data?

I have not read about undoing steps, so i am afraid it won't be possible.

But maybe someone else can answer that one.

Fan got me also when I charged my ionic for the first time.  I clocked up over 10k all while I was asleep (must have been one hell of a sleep walk).

Unfortunately There does not seem to be anyway of removing these excess steps at this stage.  I did however consider walking backwards so the count would go down, but decided that people might look at me as if I was weird or something if they saw me walking backwards about town. 🙂
