My Fitbit adds steps when I am not walking. Does anyone else have or had this problem and what can be done? Thanks

Hi @jdyjpr - Any wrist worn tracker will tend to record some steps based on movement of the arm. If you are currently wearing your Fitbit on your dominant arm, maybe try switching to the non-dominant. Be sure to change that in the settings. It might help. Also, how many steps are you seeing it record when you are not actually moving?
