New Inspire HR shows a step count much too high. Can this be remedied?

You can try a restart.

Otherwise, that's not enough information to go on. 

How much too high are you talking about? 

What were you doing during that time?

See How accurate are Fitbit devices?

About 50%; i.e. 3000 instead of 2000. I just switched setting to dominant hand to see if that helps. I am pretty much ambidextrous and use either hand for many things. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Is that for a day, or for one particular activity?  How do you know 2000 is correct instead of 3000?

Find a place you can walk several hundred steps without interruption.  Stop for a minute to makes sure display is caught up. Note step count.  Count steps, each footfall is one step, as you walk, swinging arms naturally.  Stop, wait a minute to make sure display caught up, check step count and compare to what you counted.

That will at least tell you if it is counting correctly when simply walking.
