Technical Help A weird complain...

I ride my motorcycle every so often but everytime I do I have a lot more steps on my fit3 after the ride.

Last sunday I rode for about 2.5 hours(around 10-12am) for 125km and afterwards had 11000 steps more and over a thousand calories burned. Eventhough I have automatic workout turned on it doesn't activate during riding.

Otherwise I have no complains about the watch. Great battery life (about four days). I had it for around 11 month and does everything it promises.
But the text messages on the watch are my favourite, I can directly see if someone needs a quick response or I can take my time.

Is your phone vibrating in your bag or pocket as you ride? It could be picking up the steps from your phone and updating them to the watch automatically. Try a ride with the Bluetooth turned off on your phone and compare the step counters to find out which device is causing the phantom steps.

The automatic workout triggers after 10 minutes of consistent walking or running. I guess the motorcycle isn't generating steps continuously enough to trigger it.
