Daily Step Total is Overstated

My Daily Step Total for today is overstated. The total is much larger than what is shown on the Daily Timeline. The daily timeline of about 8,000 is correct ant the Total for Today of 15,687 is clearly overstated.

That's bad! I just posted about how my watch calculated 20% less steps than reality on a 3500 step walk.

Mine is completely broken also. Just moved from a vivoactive 3 to the 255 and have been hitting my step goal by lunch time with no major differences in my walking distance. It's way off.

Now I've been doing a few walks where I've counted steps in my head while wearing 2 other devices. Garmin forerunner 255 is furthest from the truth. A much cheaper smart watch is almost exact and my phone is pretty close to the truth too. I'll try with 5 devices next at the same time next.
