There is a difference between the steps shown on/in the fit tower and the steps shown for the daily quest (the daily quest has 35 more)
I’ve seen that effect too. For me, I think it was from syncing some extra leftover steps from the previous day.
Since I always walk 10k+ steps per day and the quest only needs 500, never really gave it much thought.
Technically, if one syncs leftover steps today but they are from yesterday (and they are added to yesterday’s total), should it still count for today’s daily quest? Since only 500 are needed, does it even matter?
