Step count way too high

My Forerunner 945 with 11.6 software has a very high step count. Yesterday I logged almost 11k steps while walking around a mile the whole day. I wear my watch fairly snug so shaking isn't an issue. There isn't a specific task that causes the overcount, the graph is fairly steady with hundreds of steps that just didnt happen every hour. Is there any way to fix the calibration?

very strange - never had that issue. i have never heard of an adjustment/calibration to the motion sensor.

If you haven't done the trusty cure all for these watches, a hard restart. Press hold the upper left 'light' button for ~30seconds until the screen goes black. keep holding through emergency alert.

then power back on and sync with Garmin.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've clocked 1000 steps since I tried your fix!

My FR945 v11.60 step count is also greatly exaggerated...
