Sensitivity Option, and how it works?

[Aminos]

Hey fitbit community,

Just got my alta hr last night, so I can track my sleep since i have a long story with sleep disorders.

Last night, my watch recordrd my movements during sleep as steps, so I looked out in the forum and changed the sensitivity, however I have some questions about this option.

1-Activating this option should be only at night or during all the day, so the step tracking can be accurate both at night and during the day?

2- Activating this option can impact the sleep tracking? if yes how?

Feel free to share how the sensitivity works, cause I looked in some articles and I didnt quite get it, for better understanding how the watch works.

Thank u in advance.

Here is my short answer: if you have sleep disorders, keep sensitivity "normal" (default value). Fitbit will have plenty of opportunities to pick up your restlessness with it.

Thanks for your answer, but the steps counting will b wrong with normal option, and thats what happend last night.

Ill be glad to have more explanations,not just short answer .

Sleep sensitivity shouldn’t affect your step count, at least not in any major way. The best way to find out its impact is to turn it on for a couple of days, and compare the results with night tracked with the normal setting.
