Fitbit Alta Doesn T Count Floors

Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.

Fitbit alta doesn t count floors.

It would have to be a new device. The fitbit community is a gathering place for real people who wish to exchange ideas solutions tips techniques and insight about the fitbit products and services they love. That being the case it is hardly the sine qua non without which nothing of tracker technology. Fitbit openly admits that a gust of wind or even a sudden door shutting can affect the floor count.

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. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation. The current alta does not have a built in altimeter to detect floors so it would not be possible to update them so they can count floors. Sunsetrunner floor counting is a hardware issue not software so an upgrade to current altas will never include floor counting.

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. And apple watch looks like a viable option again. The fitbit company seem to have no interest in asking users what they actually want.

Fitbit devices don t count floors on stationary exercise. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Yes very disappointing it doesn t count stairs.
