Check out my steps for the day...then my distance. Not possible. I have been sitting all day. Why? I consistently get way more steps when I am inactive than actually walking around.Check out my steps for the day...then my distance. Not possible. I have been sitting all day. Why?

It’s possible @jemil that the tracker is picking up your wrist movements while you’re seated. What sort of activity are you doing sitting?

Of course it is! That is my whole point. It should not. My Alta did not do that and my partner’s blaze does not do that. My ionic should not give me more steps for sitting than it does for actually being active.
