Fitbit charge hr

I got a fitbit charge hr a few weeks ago,and just recently noticed it seems very sensitive. It's tracking steps I'm not taking. Earlier I hit 10,000 steps but I was driving. Anyone else have that problem?

Yes, that's why I returned mine and got a jawbone. There might be things you can do to make it less sensitive. I know I saw a thread where a girl had a bunch of things she changed. Told it she was wearing on dominant he and even though she wasn't. told it she was shorter then she was maybe. I wish I could remember. She said it all helped make it more accurate. Maybe she will see this.

I had the same problem, switching the settings to say that I'm wearing it on my dominant wrist, even though I'm not - seems to help. Before that it was giving me thousands of steps for working a cash register or typing! Nice for challenges, but not quite accurate!

Thanks! I do have it set to dominate wrist,but I'm ambidextrous and tend to use both about the same. I'm going to switch it to my right and see if that helps.

Yep. All I did was log the drive as a drive and it takes the steps away. Now, my fitbit doesn't log steps during a drive. And yes, changing the settings on fitbit to dominant and wearing on the non dominant wrist works great. Now, my fitbit only tracks steps.
