Congrats on getting a new charge 2.
Does fitbit charge track floors.
Simple comfortable and very helpful.
Your fitbit charge 2 calculates floors using an altimeter which is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
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.
It does not track the floors climbed.
Thanks for taking the time to report the situation you are experiencing with your charge 3 tracking floors.
Charge 4 tracks all day activity like steps distance floors climbed active zone minutes and calories burned to show how every part of your day gets you closer to your goals.
In this case there are a couple of things that may be causing your tracker to record extra floors.
It worked for one day i woke up in the morning and it did not work that day then recorded one floor but not the rest.
Track activity sleep heart rate and more with multi day battery so you can do more on a single charge secure tap to pay make purchases from charge 4 at millions of stores or transit stations no phone or wallet necessary.
Only up one floor in my house and already in my fitbit i have 10.
In the meantime i switched to the newer fitbit charge hr 2.
And yes it tracks floors.
Though your tracker is designed to look for pressure changes based on elevation gains pressure changes due to other causes such as a gust of wind a weather change or opening a door can occasionally.
It does not register floors when you go down.
I realized this on the second day and looked at the blog and reset it as directed.
You ll see that it is a really cool tracker.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
Know your body better by using your tracker with the fitbit app to follow your cycle record symptoms and more.
This is my fourth day of having the fitbit charge 3.
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.
That s not to say that.
The fitbit charge 4 looks almost identical to the fitbit charge 3 and while the charge 3 did offer an updated design it does still feel a little dated at this point.
