Just mowed my yard with a riding mower and the fit bit shows I did a 37minute workout. Not accurate. I like the look but debating on if I should return it. Also I have tattoos on my wrist the hr light can not be on my tattoo otherwise it won't work. I either have to wear it on my wrist bone which makes it hard to bend my wrist or above my tattoo which then it has to be so tight so it doesn't slide down into my tattoo. Never had this problem with the alta

I also have a ride on mower and it tells ,e I play sport when I am mowing. It must be a difficult thing for it to work out what is going on. The best solution is to log a Driving activity over the time you were mowing and that will remove the zteps and active minutes.
To log a driving activity go to your app, tap the exercise tile (running man), then the stopwatch icon in the top right corner. On the screen that comes up start to type in Driving and when the list drops down SELECT DRIVING from the list (very importand not to type in the whole word). Fill in the details and Log it.
Unfortunately wrist tattoos are a broblem with optical Heart Rate monitors. Is your other arm tattooed? Or the inside of your wrist?
