Hi there @Rook23, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the step discrepancy you're having with your Versa 2 and for making sure your stride length is set correctly. I'll be glad to help you.
Fitbit devices have a finely-tuned algorithm for step counting. The algorithm is designed to look for intensity and motion patterns that are most indicative of people walking and running. When working at a desk, cooking, or performing other activities with arm movements, a device on your wrist may add some steps. When you’re doing activities that involve arm movement—such as working or cooking—you often walk a few steps in-between stationary periods as well, so the device tries to give you credit for those steps. For most customers, the number of extra steps added by arm-based movement isn’t significant when compared to your overall stats. For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?
If you feel that your step count and distance are inaccurate, confirm the following are correct in the Fitbit app:
Sometimes, when you start walking, your steps may not update on your device right away. After about 10-15 continuous steps, you'll notice the steps catch up and start updating in real time with each step you take.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
