Does Fitbit Flex Count Floors Climbed

Fitbit showing an absurdly high number of floors climbed for the past couple of days i noticed my charge hr is counting 50 more floors than what i normally do.

Does fitbit flex count floors climbed.

I agree with you it doesn t make mush sense does it. 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. I usually do around 10 15 and that would be the case for the last couple of days. When i looked online today floors climbed is now listed under features and specs for both inspire and inspire hr.

Elevator is a c. But all your steps for both. Just like makmak the flex doesn t have an altimeter so it can t count floors climbed. I ve always read that the inspire does not count stairs.

Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation. Just to knock off that reason as well. Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up. Just as dramaqueendiva informed the flex does not track floors.

Unlike the page of the charge which does list an altimeter additional to the other two. You can check its page and scroll all the way down you will see where it says sensors and components that only the 3 axis accelerometer and vibration motor are listed. It 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.

There s no catch in the stairs. Iamemily1 thanks for joining the fitbit community. I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me. And yes i did stop to check the result and wasn t running.

Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation. They were around 10 feet. Vertical speed vs horizontal speed. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.

However answering to your question fitbit trackers count floors using an altimeter that detects when you re going up or down in elevation. It does not register floors when you go down. It was still 8. Climbed another flight of stairs and check again and the number did not not change.

Climbed up 2 floors and the count showed 8 when it should have shown 9. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
