Fitbit floors accuracy.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
Your device is designed to detect pressure changes based on elevation gain but other types of pressure changes such as a gust of wind a weather change or opening a door can occasionally cause.
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.
The fitbit charge will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
In fact floors do not count for anything floors do not carry any incremental caloric burn value it s just a statistic aimed at keeping people motivated.
Your device is designed to detect pressure changes based on elevation gain but other types of pressure changes such as a gust of wind a weather change or opening a door can occasionally cause your device to register extra floors.

For example a gust of wind a weather change opening a door or air conditioner may occasionally cause your tracker to register a floor or two.
Fitbit accuracy for floor tracking.
Fitbit devices detect floors with an altimeter which is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
Fitbits allegedly measure how many floors you climbed.
However there are other reasons why it may be giving you extra floors.
Ok i ve got the ionic my wife has the charge 3 when we go out walking my wifes charge 3 registers similar distance but a ridiculously higher amount of floors for example we went on a walk around southwold uk my ionic registered 17 floors whilst her charge 3 registered 78 floors.
Your tracker adds one floor every time you increase your elevation by 10 feet while moving which is the average.
Fitbits allegedly measure how many floors you ve climbed using an altimeter which measures when air pressure decreases slightly.
