Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a stairmaster inclined treadmill or other stationary exercise equipment.
Fitbit charge floors count.
Fitbit devices detect floors using something called an altimeter.
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.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
In the last 2 3 days the floor count has gone excessively high.
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.
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.
This seems to have changed within the last couple of days.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.
The number of floors.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
Current problems just started.
From the first day i noticed that the floor count is way off.
It s very hard for me to do stairs so i m happy when my fitbit charge hr adds floors.
But i feel like fitbit still owes me some floors.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.
This is a sensor that measures altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
Just bought a charge 3 just a few days ago.
It makes up for some of the times when it doesn t count all my daily floors.
Now it won t stop.
Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.
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.
The device on your wrist takes these readings to estimate.
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.
84 floors today when it should be under 20 probably more like 10.
Since this is a relatively recent report thought i would report my issues with a charge 2.
Even counted floor count while going down the stairs.
