Increase in steps past week or so?

Is anyone finding they're hitting higher number of steps lately? All week I'm finding I've been surprised at the number of steps when I really haven't done anything different and actually been more dormant this week due to workload and sitting in front of a computer!

Oh, for sure. The next to last firmware update loosened up the step count quite a bit. My Band and Fenix 3 used to be far apart by the end of the day. Now they are usually only about 100 to 200 steps apart.

Me too. Like Nate said, it appeared after the 2nd update. Seems they loosened it up some, maybe to be closer to Fitbit, which was quite generous with steps, or at least had a different philosophy, which confused some people and annoyed some too, as in, former Fitbit owners saying "where are my steps!!!"

ahh, that explains it. I've been getting more steps on my Band than my Fitbit lately and I hadn't connected it to the latest update. Thought I must have been wandering around without the fitbit on more often.
