FitBit question

Does anyone who has a FitBit Flex notice that it seems to be reporting more steps than before? I wear mine on my non-dominant hand, and have it set up that way, but it seems to report more than I am actually doing.

    If you end up doing a lot of work moving around your hands, it might overreport. It's happened to me a couple times since I work retail and spend a lot of time moving clothes around.

    I would walk 100 steps and see what it counted. Then type for one minute and see what it counted.

    Wear it on your non dominant wrist, but set it for dominant on the website. This will give you a more accurate count. I had the same problem with my flex. ✌
