 I have noticed my step tracker wasn't picking up steps like it should.  This was confirmed when my husband and I took our kids to an amusement park and he was at 7000 when I was at 5000.  We walked the exact same amount that day.  He has the Charge 3.  Has only had this issue?  What should I do to get my watch back on track?

His tracker being different to yours doesnt confirm yours is wrong. His might be wrong. In any case your stride lenght is probably differentsonthe number of steps wont be the same. Do a step test on both trackers. Walk 100 paces in a normal walking manner (count them) in a straight line and see how many the tracker says you have done. Withing + or - 5 is considered good.
