The fitbit company seem to have no interest in asking users what they actually want.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.
Fitbit devices don t count floors on stationary exercise.
And apple watch looks like a viable option again.
Yes very disappointing it doesn t count stairs.
It would have to be a new device.
Though i do think adding floors to a slim tracker that has so many features already isn t too good of an idea unless you know how to add more space to a tiny tracker.
It s a fun extra very little more and if it adds bulk and expense it seems to me a reasonable decision to leave it out.
Sunsetrunner floor counting is a hardware issue not software so an upgrade to current altas will never include floor counting.
I just got the alta as a birthday present but i ll be going back to the charge.
It reminds me of this every time i see that dumb dashboard.
I am too late to vote for the idea of floor counting in the fitbit alta but i also had the same reaction when i found out the alta doesn t count floors.
That being the case it is hardly the sine qua non without which nothing of tracker technology.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
