I'm so excited! I finally got a Fitbit Charge HR yesterday! Anyone want to do a day step challenge for tomorrow, starting at midnight? Or one for the weekend?

Just ordered the Fitbit Blaze. The stupid Charge HR is tracking steps I'm not even taking! I tried changing the settings from non-dominant to dominant to make it less sensitive but that didn't really work. I took it off and set it on my desk to prevent extra steps but somehow it still logged 3-400 steps while it sat there. I took a break and decided I'd test it against actually counting and it still logged a couple hundred more. Ugh!

Blaze will be here tonight..in time for the challenge.

I thought I was doing good until my latest update! Nicksmommy you are seriously kickin ass and takin names!

Omg.... you are more than double my steps! You are Christina are leaving me in the dust!! It's all good! I like that it motivates us all!

I'm sorry ! I just checked and looks like I had a typo in the address I put in for you. You should have it now!

My charge hr doesn't count my steps properly. It shorts me several thousand. My husband wore it and it worked fine for him. I wore his and was still shorted steps. For some reason it doesn't like the way I walk and I can only get it to work right if I keep my arm still by my side which is not comfortable to do. There's a whole thread on this on the Fitbit forums from other people who experience the same thing. I bought a Fitbit One and it works great. I love it!

That is really strange - I wonder why it does that ?? Glad the One works for you!

Well, it would have been smart if I had actually remembered to put my FitBit on this morning! Can't really do a challenge if you don't put it on...

I was wondering what happened to ya!

So far my Charge HR has been pretty accurate on the steps.

Mine too. I have only noticed a few times that it did not register some flights that I did, but I'd rather it be under, than showing too many.

Yeah, mine was over counting by a few hundred at a time.

Yes, I did and put it to the test earlier today. I spent part of my lunch 1/2 hour walking about a mile. Haven't walked in a REALLY long time and it doesn't help that I have a desk job. The most walking I'm getting other than the lunch break is taking the LONNNNGGGGG way around the building to go to the bathroom. LOL

Steps are steps, no matter how you get em in! It's all good!!

I'm in an emergency call center, so I'm not moving too much during my work day either. I keep my bottled Water down the hall in our break room. When I need another bottle, I take the long way, and go down/back up the stairs before getting it and heading back. If I don't have stuff to do on my lunch hour, I will walk around inside, or outside now that it is finally warming up!
