Fitbit trackers that count floors use an altimeter to calculate how many floors you ve climbed. If only the pressure change is counted every ride in an elevator would heavily distort the floor count.

The accelerometer and gyroscope assesses acceleration and directional changes for stairs the vertical speed increase and decrease with each step up horizontal speed from traveling forwards. Think about using an elevator in a tall building. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. My fitbit counts my elevator ride of 11 floors at office as 3 4 floors climbed.

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation so the tracker calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure. This type of elevator is designed to travel between one landing or floor opening only. Vertical speed vs horizontal speed.

An altimeter is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure. Fitbit devices don t count floors on stationary exercise. You cannot move your feet or wrist if it s there at all while in the elevator.
