Counting steps when driving, ugh

[kstammer79]

Let me start off by saying I love my fitbit. I have read the community forum on how to handle steps being counted when driving. So here's a suggestion that every fitbit user would agree upon. How about being able to turn the step counter off from the watch or phone. This should be a really simple fix. Employ the KISS method (keep it simple stupid).

Another suggestion would be to have the fitbit automatically turn off the step counter when driving. If the Alpine Snow App can detect my speed while snowboarding down a mountain why can't we get an app that detects the speed when we are driving and turn the step counter off. 

It is not convenient to take my watch off and on when I'm in my car and plug it into the charger. I don't think adding my drive time to my dashboard either because I don't log the time I'm in the car. I can't  remember to do that. 

If there are other fitbit users that agree with me please like this suggestion. It would be a huge benefit to the fitbit community.

Thank You,

Sorry for the bad grammar. Still learning how to write in proper English. Please forgive me.

I took mine off but it still counted steps & floors. 907 today. I'm a truck driver and my arms move due to road conditions. I even moved it to my dominant arm. No improvement

This is sooooo annoying.

I've only just got mine, for Christmas.  And this is the first thing I notice.

I ride a motorcycle also and it's massively worse on there.

Can't find a solution

I totally agree  I've had the same issue and told to take my watch off when driving. really? I love the look and feel of the watch but very disappointed in it overall
