Versa 3 is tracking too many steps

[Kdpastrygirl]

I’m trying to figure out how to get a more accurate step count when wearing my versa on my wrist.  It’s counting large amounts of steps when I’m just using my hands.  If I stick it in a pocket, my step count for the day is about half as much.  I’ve already tried noting it as being on my dominate wrist.

Hi @Kdpastrygirl  read this article - click to go there - on how Fitbit calculates your activity. These are wrist based devices and as such, your arm movements count. If you were pushing a shopping cart or holding something where your arm isn't moving, the step count would be less.
