Fitbit Step Counter Inaccurate

Walk 100 steps making sure to count a step each time one of your feet touches the ground.

Fitbit step counter inaccurate.

When you wear a fitbit device in a clip make sure you wear it properly. After about 10 15 continuous steps you ll notice the steps catch up and start updating in real time with each step you take. Is there going to be a fix on this soon or perhaps i should be exchanging this with another model or even another brand. What s weird is that initially i was walking about 3 mph and each mile was about 2 400 2 500 steps or about 120 steps per minute.

Here are a few things that might interfere with your step counter s accuracy. And it s now closer to 90 steps per minute a 25 reduction in a few weeks. It seems pointless putting a step tracker in a wrist device even my android phone gives a far more accurate step count though not as good as the one. I spoke with support they sent me a new one.

When it fails to do that it feels like there s no point having the tracker. This guide will walk you through fixing any issues you have with your fitness tracker not recording your steps. Confirm inspire and inspire 2 are set to on wrist when you wear your tracker on your wrist and on clip when you wear your tracker in the clip. But recently the count shrunk and cost me my daily streak of 10 000 steps per day.

It s done this 3 times in the last 2 day. Through our testing we ve found fitbit to be among the most accurate in sleep tracking heart monitoring and step counting with its in house algorithms improving all the time. Yes my charge 3 counts more than double the number of steps that my fitbit one does using them at the same time. Your fitbit fitness tracker is supposed to record various things like steps calories and time.

Each time write down the number of steps. When wearing the fitbit regardless of what arm or dominant setting when walking 100 steps it s only count between 60 70 of those steps. Pause then check your device to see your step count and write down the number of steps you took and the number of steps your device counted. Over the last couple days i have looked down at my charge 3 and the step count was grossly inflated.

But this algorithm might lead to accidentally counting steps or missing the steps you take. Perform the test 2 more times walking 100 steps 3 different times. I ve been battling step accuracy on my hr since the last update. This is how your fitbit is able to count your steps as you move forward to walk but not count steps as you sit in your car and drive through traffic.

One day it was at 30 000 and i knew it was much lower than that.
