I have been using it for a few months. Watch is not at all accurate it counts steps even if I'm traveling in a train sitting. It auto detects when I'm riding a motorbike as biking and add a few calories. It is getting very hard to calculate how mush calories I have burned due these inaccuracies.

Hi there, @Bharathsai. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Versa 2. I understand where your concern is coming from. 

 

Please note wrist Fitbit devices count steps depending on the movement of your arms. Fitbit has worked hard to make sure that our devices do not pick up false steps or activity recordings while driving. Also, if you place it in a surface with something vibrating or if you make hard hand movements. You can learn more about how your Fitbit tracks steps by checking the article: How accurate are Fitbit devices?

 

If you want to remove the steps from your daily total, manually log the driving activity for the time you were in a motorcycle/bike. For more information, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

 

Hope that helps.
