Add ambidextrous to wrist placement options

[amymurray122]

Right now, the only wrist placement options are dominant and non-dominant. However, this is a disservice to ambidextrous people. My dominant hand of the day depends 100% on what I'm doing. Adding ambidextrous as an placement option can account for this.

@LizzyFitbit How are votes counted? By the number of comments?

Hi @amymurray122 - the notion "dominant"  really means the hand that is being used the most is considered dominant.

You can change the setting to suit on which wrist the watch is currently being used.

It only makes a slight difference to arm movement counting anyway, with the idea of filtering out unwanted random arm movements from the counting.

The minimum to start count arm movements at a time is only a couple of movements different so doesn't make a big difference overall.
