I just switched from using a Fitbit One to an inspire 2.  When I was using my One, it took about 12k steps to get to 5 miles.  I've been using the device in my sock or on my leg so it will count my steps on my under desk elliptical.  Now, using the inspire 2, I got 33,771 steps yesterday and 8.79 miles.  Today, I'm at 12,148 steps and 2.31 miles.  Also, I RARELY burned above 2k calories with my One and yesterday I burned 2,991.  

Is the inspire 2 using GPS to track my mileage, so that I'm not getting credit for the elliptical?  I get credit for steps and calories.  I don't get it.

I may have figured this out.  I kept tweaking my stride length.  I made it 30 inches for both walking and running (I don't run) and turned off the "Set Automatically" option.  I also turned off all of the Smart Track Exercises options.  So far today, the step count seems to be more closely matching my old One in steps/miles.  I had to make these adjustments on my iPhone.  I didn't see any way to do this on my PC.  I keep getting the "Bonding Failed" - or whatever it says.  My calorie burn is still higher than with my One, but maybe that's because the Inspire 2 is using heart rate.
