I bought the Band Thursday night and ever since I have worn both the Band and my Fitbit Flex to determine if there was going to be a discrepancy regarding step count. Yesterday I had the following totals:
MS Band - 4,114
Fitbit - 5,207
(I know it's not a lot. I'm not lazy. I just had to put in a 12 hour day at work)
Today thus far:
MS Band - 1,630
Fitbit - 2,261:
While this doesn't necessarily indicate there's a problem with the Band, I did find Fitbit's step counts to be pretty accurate for the length of time I've had it so my suspicion is that the Band isn't clocking all of my steps.
Furthermore, I've done small experiments in which I've taken a reading and then simply paced off 20 steps and several times my Band count hasn't moved at all. Everything else seems to work.
Do I have a bum Band? Anyone else seeing the trends I'm describing above?
