Steps count by hands movement on my Surge

[manuforlife]

1.Anybody encounter before taking out your surge and try shaking left and right or up and down it will count your steps. Does this happens to anybody? It should not count any steps. Anyway i'm wearing on my dominant hand. 

Any advise how does the steps really count. If by using shaking method everyone could just use this method to cheat. There is no purpose of it.

Sorry but wrist trackers will do this. Sees your arm moving it will add steps

If your arms are moving yes

Nice to see you around @manuforlife! As @WendyB mentioned above wrist trackers some times counts extra steps. You might get a few extra steps from arm swings since your tracker will sense the movements of your hand. So, as a friendly tip I suggest to wear your Surge in your non dominant arm to minimise false arm "steps". You can also check the settings on your Fitbit App to be set in the correct "Handedness" option. 

Also take a look on how to delete extra steps taken by your Surge at the end of  this master post from @HelenaFitbit. 

Hope this helps, let know if you have questions about it!
