Re steps inaccurate compared to track my activity

[Walkfitness73]

When I track my activity through Fitbit app, the steps are way higher than my watch. At least 1500. When phone and watch sinc, the steps get reduced.

i would have thought that the gps and watch talk to each other and measure the true amount of steps.

which one is accurate.

Welcome on board @Walkfitness73! Both, your Charge 2 and MobileRun are accurate, I'd recommend to see: How accurate are Fitbit devices?

Working with the GPS sensors in your phone, MobileRun calculates distance, elevation, and pace for your walk, run, or hike. When the activity is done and you sync your tracker, you'll find all the data and a GPS map of your route in your exercise history.

If you wear your tracker while using MobileRun, the steps, active minutes, and calories burned that you see on your Fitbit dashboard come from the tracker. Otherwise your phone is used to calculate this data. During the workout you can view your elapsed distance, time, and average pace as well as use the music controls in the Fitbit app.

For instructions how to change or delete a MobileRun, see: How do I edit or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Hope this clarifies your question, let me know if you need further assistance.
