You can change the sensitivity like I wear mine on my Dominant wrist but I have the settings set to Non Dominant

But wrist trackers will pick up false steps when your arms are moving.

Wrist models will count steps when moving your arms. I already stated that. 

 

Maybe the One is a better model for you as it doesn't count a lot of false steps as it's not worn on the arm. 

 

Even other brand wrist models will do the same. 

 

I did give you an honest answer. Take it or leave it.
