Fitbit Charge Not Counting Floors Correctly

My fitbit is only two weeks old.

Fitbit charge not counting floors correctly.

My fitbit charge hr counted my floors correctly. Often the very next day it seems to count them more accurately. Sometimes if i went up in an elevator i got credit for more floors. My activity was 18 holes of golf on a relatively flat course.

Partial floors are not counted so if you climb 15 ft you get credit for one floor. 7th floor and i took stairs to go down and up multiple times with in last 3 days and my floor count is not. If you have a fitbit blaze fitbit charge or charge hr fitbit charge 2 fitbit one or fitbit surge. This story happened to me in 2015 while wearing a fitbit charge hr fitness tracker.

However neither of my charge hr s nor my charge 2 record floors. Press the button three times within eight seconds alta or three times within five seconds flex 2. I took advantage of target s 20 gift card promotion and got the alta only to discover it counted the flights of steps with almost the same inconsistency. If you have a fitbit alta or fitbit flex 2.

Although i haven t tested this trick with the new. Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a stairmaster inclined treadmill or other stationary exercise equipment. In the meantime i switched to the newer fitbit charge hr 2. It is so frustrating i am going back to the flex 2 because it does not do stairs.

And i hung 3 loads of washing on the line and brought it back in when dry. But my charge 2 does not count them correctly at all. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. I climbed 6 flights of stairs a while ago and i got credit for 2.

Blaze not counting floors properly answered options. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters. The unit uses the air pressure altimeter to count floors and it only counts floors going up not down. Mark topic as new.

With a 3 story house i love to record my floors. My fitbit one did a great job of floor climbs. Today i ve apparently climbed 26 floors already and ha. A pressure difference equivalent to about 10 ft is counted as 1 floor.

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. Hold down the buttons on your device until the lights on your tracker flash or you see a fitbit logo. I was not carrying anything. The reverse can happen if you are out in a windy environment you could get changes in air pressure around your fitbit and it will register phantom floors.

Has been fine until yesterday. Problem with fitbit one not counting flights of steps correctly is inconsistent.
