Auto recognized excercise i didn't do

[Houston79]

So, i was just walking around my house, and the Fitbit app said it auto recognized an exercise I did about an hour ago. It said that I did Outdoor Cycling for 15 minutes. I didn't do outdoor cycling or any other kind of exercise.

What could this be?

I left my Fitbit at an ex-girlfriend's house, and I'm paranoid that maybe she synced t it to her phone and she's riding around in front of my house on a bicycle... Please tell me that can't be the case?

Hi, @Houston79, your ex girlfriend can't sync your Fitbit without knowing your password.  In addition, if you are syncing it to your own phone, it will create a unique Bluetooth bond preventing it syncing to any other phone unless you break that bond by turning off Bluetooth or telling the system to forget the device.

So I think you can relax on that score,

I have found on a couple of occasions that my Fitbit has detected outdoor cycling when I was just talking to people at a dinner party.  SmartTrack is pretty clever, but it isn't perfect, and sometimes it just gets it wrong.  I would suggest deleting the false exercise and forgetting about it.  If you never do outdoor cycling you might want to turn off detection for that particular activity.

Perfect!!! I guess I should change my password, or even start a new Fitbit account?

Also, the Bluetooth was on, on my phone when that happened, so I guess that essentially means that it was only my phone and no other one paired at the time.

I think you can be confident in this case that it was your Fitbit getting, as the Brits say, its knickers in a twist, and not your ex-girlfriend!

Having said that, if you are ever concerned that your privacy may be compromised, it is a good idea to reset your password.  Starting a new account really should not be necessary,
