Can you alter the sensitivity? It's saying I'm walking when I am driving and drying my hair etc.

Hi @mindymartin  No, there is no sensitivity setting as such, but you can record in your app that you wear it on your dominant hand and actually wear it on the non dominant, which has the effect of reducing the sensitivity somewhat. All wrist worn trackers will pick up some false steps from arm movements and bumps in the road. The number isnusually not significant when compared to a whole days steps.
