@Fiat1974It will add steps when you are moving your arms a lot. You must be moving them while sleeping

@Fiat1974 A warm welcome to our Community! Sorry to hear that your Charge 2 is overcounting your steps. As @WendyB explained this could be to your arm movement. Your tracker will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen when driving. You can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your tracker on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the tracker’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

 

Let me know how it goes!
