I got a charge 3 in december 2019 i think it was my fourth fitbit tracker over the years.
Fitbit tracking too many floors.
I understand subtle pressure changes may affect the accuracy by a floor or two or five.
Watch this video to learn how to correct the entry.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for taking the time to report the situation you are experiencing with your charge 3 tracking floors.
I have just earned a satellite badge for 35 000 lifetime floors.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
I ve had a charge for a year.
It is weird it worked fine for some time then went haywire.
Does your fitbit app show more floors climbed than it should.
Let me ask you this by any chance have you left your fitbit close to a fan.
What to do if your fitbit counts too many floors july 28 2019 ivan jovin 1934 views 0 comments how to smartwatch.
The fitbit uses an altimeter to count floors so drops in air pressure can fool the fitbit into thinking you were going up.
I normally get around 20 40 floors day.
Because my charge 3 was counting way too many floors i had it replaced under warranty.
212 floors 181 floors.
It logs way too many floors sometimes over 200 floors per day day after day.
Fitbit devices don t count floors on stationary exercise equipment such as a stairmaster or treadmill or when you go down a flight of steps.
I am thinking of going back to my old charge 1.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
I m asking because the altimeter on the charge 2 is sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
I never had a problem with the charge and my floor count.
Thanks for trying some tips to fix this issue with your charge 2 tracking so many floors.
Just got my new charge 2 and the floors are way off by hundreds.
I am tracking sometimes over 100 floors when it should be 15 20.
No way i deserve that badge.
Pressure changes due to things like weather or gusts of wind.
In this case there are a couple of things that may be causing your tracker to record extra floors.
I logged 44 floors today and actually climbed 6.
I too will be looking at competitors if fitbit does not fix this issue.
The new charge 3 is also counting too many floors 10 floors while walking 1 km on level ground at sea level.
Hope this helps eric two wrongs don t make a right but three lefts do.
Just going about our day as usual to notice the.
The only thing that really changed was winter vs.
All of the suddden my new fitbit thinks i m climbing sky scrapers every day.
It also count some of my walking as bicycling.
Though your device is designed to look for pressure changes.
I am healthy but i don t walk that fast.
