Fit bit while in the car for 3 hours a day...

Kimblesnbits13

I had a Fitbit years ago but stopped using it because it would add steps to my day while I was in the car and was not accurate. My commute to work is an hour and a half so that equals 3 hours in the car a day...since they've come out with newer and improved ones, did they fix this issue? Is there a pause button at least? I'm debating on if I should bother getting a new one or not because of this issue.

I've only had my flex a month, but mine doesn't count driving. I have and hour and 15 minute commute (one way). Maybe the newer updates have made them a little less sensitive?

No issues like that with Apple Watch

On the fitbit user forum a womans solution to this problem was to plug her fitbit in to charge in the car while shes driving as it cant count steps while its on charge.
The fitbit support team had zero suggestions on how to fix it

I have a charge HR and mine doesnt count steps while im driving

I've had several Fitbits over the past four years and have never seen any of them pick up steps from driving

My only problem is 90% of the time I forget to put it back on before I get out of the car! I have a long commute to work though so it is a great time to charge it.

I don't normally get steps from driving though unless on unusually bumpy roads. Normal driving though, no.

My charge hr doesn't count driving but does count shuffling cards.

You should see how many steps it clocks up at a poker game if I forgot to take it off
