Since, maybe a few weeks ago the steps recorded on my Zenwatch have gone crazier than a bag of spiders.
I know on average I do between 7,500 - 10,000 steps a day if I have my normal routine. Lately it's gone over 15, 20, even 25k steps a day. It was on the same pedometer sensitivity as it always has been, I tried changing it to the least sensitive level but I still get crazily high readings. I think it might be racking up steps whilst I'm not moving. I'm sure I noticed it around 10k once then it actually dropped to 8k a little while later. Other times I get the 'you have been inactive' notification when I have been sat down.
What is even weirder though is that despite how sensitive it is or if it's incorrectly recording steps, the achievement-type cards that flash up bear little resemblance to the steps shown. E.g. it might say 15,000 steps taken on the watch face, but the card shown says I have taken 1,700. Surely these should at least always been the same?
Has anyone else experienced these issues? At first I thought just a pedometer (mechanical) problem but now it also seems software related if the notifications don't match the step numbers?
