Do you find you get higher than expected figures whilst driving. Not sure how much is because I'm in the UK ( change gear with left hand).

    I have been watching it because I saw some comments about that and i barely get a couples of step while driving, the only thing i get is my 1.8 cal per min.. I am driving automatic, maybe that's the difference.

    Wondering if it was designed with the USA market in mind where youndontbuse you're left hand. I think I'll take if off when I'm driving to be sure.

    I wish I could take it off while driving but im in and out of the car so much at work it would be such a hassle. I mentally deduct ~500 cals when I'm in the car for long periods of time.

    This happened to me - I turn my armband over when I'm driving so it doesn't count activity.

    I did contact customer services and they said there wasn't a fix if my car was rocky, which it is. I have sports suspension so it's not exactly a smooth ride!

    Turn your band over is my best suggestion!

    Mine adds extra steps on really bumpy stretches of road especially in the truck, not as much in the smoother riding car.

    I've been finding its the gear changing for me. I'm in the UK so we do it with the left hand. When I'm driving along a motorway, its fine.
