Remove / Edit steps

My Venu 3 recorded too much steps. I could not find a way to delete the recording or to edit the steps. Same problem was reported here:

Still no solution yet?

    Garmin does not have an option to edit steps, neither to add nor remove. If too many steps are a chronic issue on your device, then have a look here - My Garmin Watch is Not Accurately Counting Steps | Venu® 3 | Garmin Customer Support

    What a pity. The only workaround is: I always have to remember to take my watch off when I play drums.

    You do not need to take the watch off. Just create a new activity copied for example from Cardio, Elliptical, or Indoor Cycling, name it Drums, and start it when paying drums. These activity types suppress the steps counting. As a plus, you will have a record of your drumming session with some stats that may be quite interesting.

    If I stay in a bathroom (2x2 meter) for 15 minutes (Blow dyr-hair, comb etc.), Venu collect 300 steps. In real I have done 6 steps. On the other side when I use an activity, e.g. "Badminton": play 45 Minutes and the acitvity collects 0.1km distance during the rally.

    I think it is ok to be 10% off, but to be over 1000% off, is really not nice and this all became useless. So Garmin should really enhanced it, and let at least to the user editingt all activities (including) steps manually.

    That's exactly what my stepson does, when he plays the drums. No steps, but lots of HR info. I'm really amazed at some of the charts he gets after 30-45 minutes. He''s a banger as as Ringo would say, and he really works up a sweat.

    Ugh, this happened to me today. I was on a tour in Panama City today and in a van for most of the day, but my watch thinks I walked 18K steps on a continual basis between 5am and 5pm. So annoying when I likely did more like 1.5-2K steps today… Garmin, please give us the option to delete inaccurate data.
