Counting steps that aren’t steps

[VivRocks]

I’m in bed using my phone, repositioning myself occasionally, running my hand through my hair also occasionally and all these movements have me a 282 steps without getting out of bed. Ugh! Finding this incredibly frustrating and inaccurate! I wear my Fitbit on my dominant hand. Is this typical for the Fitbit to be so sensitive and over count or is my Fitbit defective?

It does use arm movements so yes I can see it counting while you are doing what you said.

Try changing the dominant setting to the opposite that you wear it. It has helped others
