QUESTION RESOLVED AND DELETED

So Garmin Connect or my new Fenix 6s or both since they sync are giving me steps while I am sleeping and not even wearing my watch! And yesterday they gave me almost 40,000 + steps in one day. That definitely did not happen in real life. Also one day they didn't seem to roll over at midnight. #SilverLining ... I am winning all the step challenges this week! IS THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE? All I know to do is to delete the app, re-install, re-set my watch to factory settings, re-setup and re-connect. A lot of work so will wait and see if anyone has anything else to contribute before I do all that! UGH!

Was it the fan?

HI EVERYONE, YES IT WAS THE FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who knew!

I have never had a Garmin do that before but support said "there was a change to the accelerometer and the sensitivity" in the 6 series!

No more leaving my watch on the nightstand with the fan on! Have left it somewhere else the past 2 nights (sleep with my smaller activity tracker) and woken up to a normal amount of steps!

Only took a month, a new watch and an hour with Garmin support to figure this out! HA, just so glad it is finally resolved, it was driving me crazy!
