I just got the fitbit charge 3 and am pretty happy with my purchase thus far.
Which fitbit counts flights of stairs.
Is their a way to fix this or should i return it.
Walk up the 2 flights in a row trying not to stop at any point.
Find a location where you have 2 flights of stairs in a row.
Each flight of stairs should be at least 10 feet tall.
Thanks in advance.
When i finished my workout it said that i had climbed 8 flights of stairs.
I was wondering why i had not gotten any stairs in a week since i switched from the fitbit one to the fitbit inspire hr.
Put on your tracker and check the number of floors before you begin to walk.
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.
Between my two flights of steps i only have about three or 4 feet of space cover and really if you just turn and take three steps you re on the next set of steps.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.
Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.
I also get that there is likely a certain amount of leeway in this measurement and is not always 100 accurate.
Now i come to find out it.
I was doing intervals so i was going up and down quite a bit on the incline.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
However this morning i ran on my treadmill at a 2 incline.
Yeah this is completely stupid.
While i do love the hr functions lol ike the heart beat auto excercise tracking and sleep stages.
Once you reach the top of both flights of stairs stop to look at the number counted.
I am fully aware of how the fitbit counts stairs it senses the barometric pressure and counts every 10 of elevation as a flight of stairs.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
