My buddy & I had FitBit battles (before we both went with Apple Watches). He would always beat me in number of steps every day. His job was stocking shelves at a grocery, but the FitBit counted those movements as steps! I even tried to beat his numbers by strapping the FitBit to an electric drill and let it whirl around for a while. I still lost! Now with our Apple Watches, our steps are similar.
