Versa 2 step accuracy concern

[Protesting]

My husband and I both have versa 2. We walk the same distance every day together. I am 5 feet he is 6 feet. He ends with hundred of extra steps than I do. Help. Is my settings off or does Fitbit hate women

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Protesting.

I am glad to assist you with your concern regarding your Fitbit Versa 2 tracking your steps accurately. Thank you for providing the additional details. Factors such as device placement, dominant or non-dominant hand, and stride length affect the number of steps recorded. If you feel that your step count is inaccurate, confirm the following are correct in the Fitbit app:

• Your wrist settings (For more information, see Does the wrist I wear my device on affect accuracy?)
• Your height (For more information, see How do I manage my Fitbit profile?)

Since we use height to estimate your walking and running stride lengths, you may want to measure and manually adjust these values. For more information, see Can I change my stride length in my Fitbit account?

For more tips about improving accuracy, see What are some tips to make sure my Fitbit daily activity is accurate?

Let me know how it goes. I'll be around if you have any additional questions.

Thanks for your help. I adjusted my wrist band and stride and I think this might have done the trick.
