Hello

Can someone tell me what makes the difference choosing my dominant vs nondominant wrist when setting up my Luxe?

@Sarah6294 Putting the setting dominant wrist will reduce its sensitivity to motion so that you don't get steps for your normal arm/hand motion such as picking up things or moving stuff around by hand or scratching your head. Some people also set their unit to dominant hand even when they wear the unit on their non-dominant hand if they find lots of spurious steps recorded to reduce said sensitivity to their arm motion.
