How does the Charge 2 count steps?

When I turn my wrist the step meter  counts steps.. why does it do this?

@Tugge Welcome! It's great to see you around! 

Let me help you with your Charge 2 step count. Your device 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 device on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

Let me know how it goes.
