Step count

Have anybody noticed a step count problem after v20.0 release. My watch count steps with every stroke when I pump the tire of my bike. After I noticed that I shaked my hand and with every move it counted a step! I'm going to check the difference with Vivofit 3.

The Fenix 5 step count has always been about 15% over estimated and not just after the v20 update.

I'm talking not about fenix 5x step count accuracy in general, I'm talking about increase in step count after v20.0. And having in mind that 5x has a 3d inertia sensor it's despicable to count steps when you pump your bike tire. But software wise Garmin are worse than Microsoft, fixing a bug they create new bugs. Great hardware, great ideas, but poor execution, at least less than expected.
