Does Fitbit Flex Count Floors Climbed

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.

Does fitbit flex count floors climbed.

Iamemily1 thanks for joining the fitbit community. I ve always read that the inspire does not count stairs. 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. Climbed another flight of stairs and check again and the number did not not change.

However answering to your question fitbit trackers count floors using an altimeter that detects when you re going up or down in elevation. Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up. I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me. There s no catch in the stairs.

I agree with you it doesn t make mush sense does it. It will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time. Elevator is a c. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.

Vertical speed vs horizontal speed. But all your steps for both. When i looked online today floors climbed is now listed under features and specs for both inspire and inspire hr. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.

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. I usually do around 10 15 and that would be the case for the last couple of days. And yes i did stop to check the result and wasn t running. Unlike the page of the charge which does list an altimeter additional to the other two.

Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation. It does not register floors when you go down. Just as dramaqueendiva informed the flex does not track floors.

It was still 8. Climbed up 2 floors and the count showed 8 when it should have shown 9. Just to knock off that reason as well. Just like makmak the flex doesn t have an altimeter so it can t count floors climbed.

They were around 10 feet. 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. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
