Anyone else’s Fitbit recognise putting laundry away as swimming?!

[Mydarlingsleepthief]

Very random but it always recognises when I do this as swimming! I find it very hard to believe that my putting laundry away burnt that many calories

Mine thought me using a sewing machine very fast to make curtains was running.

Mine picks up crocheting as steps

That's fast crocheting!

Mine counts knitting as steps.

Ha ha brilliant! I guess they aren’t particularly accurate then

Mine thought I'd been swimming. I'd actually been doing the big shop at the supermarket!

Ironing is picked up as swimming on mine

Mine adds on steps when I use my indicators in the car. Only when turning right though, not left. I could easily run a marathon just by driving round in circles.

Mine used to think I was riding a bike when I was pushing a pushchair.

I was in the waiting room for the dentist and I was so scared. My Fitbit thought I was on a run!

Mine used to think I was riding a bike when I was pushing a pushchair.

Me too! And it counts cleaning the whiteboard as steps.

I remember going out early one night and throwing some impressive moves on the dance floor. My Fitbit has me as playing basketball for an hour!! God knows what I must have looked like

I made my daughters bed and it thought I’d been swimming! Also sometimes it counts steps when I am driving!

I can easily add 10k steps at a good drumming session!

That seems quite random, I do a lot of swimming which it always recognises correctly, I've never had it think I was swimming when I was doing something else.

On the other hand, whenever I have a courtesy car from the garage it thinks i'm riding a bike. It never does this when I'm in my own car.

My Galaxy watch records housework as a workout. I don't clean energetically or anything.

Mine quite often thinks I've been cycling when I'm driving and logs changing the beds as an aerobic activity.

Mine thinks that when I do the washing up I am, in fact, riding a bike.

No but it thought driving the car was cycling!

Mine thinks driving in heavy traffic is 'outdoor cycling'.

Pray and driving are biking
Playing guitar is running!

Haha 'pram' I'm sure praying would also be 'outdoor activity' or something

Mine thought I was on a cross trainer when I painted the bathroom

On the other side, I have been to the gym or an exercise class every day so far this week and it hasn't registered as exercise at all. I can barely move my arms today.

Played musical statues. Swimming.

I've started having it my pocket as I was getting a rash. It seems a lot more accurate.
