Sense 2 Adding Steps when just using Hands

[rhonda1960]

I notice on both my Sense 2 just received, as well as on my Sense 1 (had for a year), steps were being added just for hand movement (cooking, writing, typing).  I wear it on non-dominant hand, and it was being logged that way.  So I changed to Dominant hand to see if that made a difference.  Maybe slight, but still logging too many steps.  Looks like I'm VERY active, but in reality struggle to get my 10,000 like others...just want to ensure what I'm tracking is reality.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

Hi @rhonda1960 - that's the best you can do and good you found the solution to minimise it.

However, the steps it registers are a useful measure of activity. It's not so important to the count the exact number of steps, unless you want to measure distance for example.

The movements you are registering count towards calories so it is not really a problem, other than trying to get the exact step count which is not possible. All watches only give an approximation. 

What's more interesting is seeing how the steps each day compare.
