My Fitbit Alta when worn on my left arm registers less steps than when on my belt loop by about 4 to 5 k difference.
Normal day on my left arm around 11k
Normal day on belt loop around 15k
Which is right?

    The fitbit Alta is designed to be worn around your wrist, not a belt loop. So i would trust the 11k number.
