Fitbit Charge Floors Count

Fitbit devices detect floors using something called an altimeter.

Fitbit charge floors count.

Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a stairmaster inclined treadmill or other stationary exercise equipment. I hope fitbit can find a solution because while this issue is not a deal breaker for me i do find it. It s very hard for me to do stairs so i m happy when my fitbit charge hr adds floors. I tried resetting my charge 3 a couple times but this did nothing to fix the problem.

Your device uses changes in barometric pressure to detect elevation change and therefore requires that you physically change elevation in order to properly record floors. Since this is a relatively recent report thought i would report my issues with a charge 2. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.

It makes up for some of the times when it doesn t count all my daily floors. I did not have this issue with my charge 2 and would have never gone to the charge 3 but my charge 2 pulse lights no longer work. Current problems just started. My charge 3 told me i climbed one floor during the elevator ride and 4 floors during me standing on the escalator.

Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time. From the first day i noticed that the floor count is way off. The device on your wrist takes these readings to estimate. The fitbit charge 4 looks almost identical to the fitbit charge 3 and while the charge 3 did offer an updated design it does still feel a little dated at this point.

But i feel like fitbit still owes me some floors. On the first day i took a trip and drove about 500 miles and my charge 3 counted 8 floors despite the fact that i did not climb any stairs step count was certainly off as well. Even counted floor count while going down the stairs. One day the count was up to 96 floors and i know i did less than 10 floors that day with no driving or other activity that would give me a false count.

Just bought a charge 3 just a few days ago. Now it won t stop. In the last 2 3 days the floor count has gone excessively high. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.

My 2x great niece double tapped my fitbit and it started the stop watch. This seems to have changed within the last couple of days. This is a sensor that measures altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
