I got my FitBit Versa yesterday. I love it, however, I feel like it's grossly over-counting steps. I haven't had any issues with "ghost" steps, and have changed the settings to be on the dominant hand even though I'm wearing it on my non dominant hand, but a quick trip to the bathroom down the hall logged 80 steps. It roughly should only have been 20. Are there any ways to fix this? It's impacting my burned calories, and therefore completely negating what a FitBit is actually supposed to do.
