Apple Watch counts steps backwards

I regularly check my steps on my watch while walking. Every once in a while, it counts steps backwards. For example, I will have 4800 steps and then it updates to 4500 steps. A few moments later, next time I check, it drops to 4200. This then syncs to my phone. It has done this off and on for months. Very annoying as I track my steps daily. Any ideas on how to fix this?

iPad, iOS 10
