Does fitbit flex count floors climbed.

I usually do around 10 15 and that would be the case for the last couple of days. There s no catch in the stairs. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up.

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. I agree with you it doesn t make mush sense does it. It was still 8. The accelerometer and gyroscope assesses acceleration and directional changes for stairs the vertical speed increase and decrease with each step up horizontal speed from traveling forwards.

Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation. Unlike the page of the charge which does list an altimeter additional to the other two. Climbed up 2 floors and the count showed 8 when it should have shown 9. I ve always read that the inspire does not count stairs.

Just as dramaqueendiva informed the flex does not track floors. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me. Elevator is a c.

Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters. However answering to your question fitbit trackers count floors using an altimeter that detects when you re going up or down in elevation. When i looked online today floors climbed is now listed under features and specs for both inspire and inspire hr. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.

Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time. 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. Climbed another flight of stairs and check again and the number did not not change.

And yes i did stop to check the result and wasn t running. It will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time. Just like makmak the flex doesn t have an altimeter so it can t count floors climbed. But all your steps for both.

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