Non walking movement counting on Inspire

[Sarahm25]

Hey. Got my inspire 2 days ago and have noticed its counting steps when I'm sleeping sitting on sofa and stationary intact everytime I move my arm. Is this common and can it be fixed?

Many thanks in advanced for any help.

@Sarahm25 A warm welcome to our Community! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your tracker counting arm movements as steps. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example, this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen while driving. You can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

Let me know how it goes.
