Fitbit Charge Floors Count

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.

Fitbit charge floors count.

It makes up for some of the times when it doesn t count all my daily floors. This seems to have changed within the last couple of days. Just bought a charge 3 just a few days ago. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.

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. The number of floors. Fitbit devices detect floors using something called an altimeter. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.

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. 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. 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. But i feel like fitbit still owes me some floors.

It s very hard for me to do stairs so i m happy when my fitbit charge hr adds floors. In the last 2 3 days the floor count has gone excessively high. Now it won t stop. 84 floors today when it should be under 20 probably more like 10.

Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation. Current problems just started. My 2x great niece double tapped my fitbit and it started the stop watch. My charge 3 told me i climbed one floor during the elevator ride and 4 floors during me standing on the escalator.

Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. I tried resetting my charge 3 a couple times but this did nothing to fix the problem. Even counted floor count while going down the stairs. From the first day i noticed that the floor count is way off.

Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a stairmaster inclined treadmill or other stationary exercise equipment. The device on your wrist takes these readings to estimate. I hope fitbit can find a solution because while this issue is not a deal breaker for me i do find it.
