Fitbit Versa 2 count steps when not walking

[Liizzrv6]

Hi everyone, have anyone experienced the Versa 2 counting steps when you're not even moving, and calories as well?

Some times I wake up and I have 200 steps.

Thanks in advance.

@Liizzrv6 It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your Versa 2 counting steps while you aren't moving. 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.

Thank you for responding and for the advice. It's still a problem counting
steps when I'm knitting or even when I lay down. I'll try to switch arms.
