Hi, just got the Fitbit watch and it’s been laying on my counter and says I’ve burned 559 calories already. Is this a glitch? How can I fix. I specifically bought this watch so I can see exactly what I burn.

Those would be your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  Fitbit credits them all the time, even when not wearing the tracker.

For more on this, see:

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
