Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
Does fitbit charge track floors.
Congrats on getting a new charge 2.
You ll see that it is a really cool tracker.
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.
And yes it tracks floors.
In the meantime i switched to the newer fitbit charge hr 2.
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.
Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up.
This story happened to me in 2015 while wearing a fitbit charge hr fitness tracker.
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.
It does not register floors when you go down.
Know your body better by using your tracker with the fitbit app to follow your cycle record symptoms and more.
Only up one floor in my house and already in my fitbit i have 10.
This is my fourth day of having the fitbit charge 3.
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.
Beside that it tracks steps distance calories burn heart rate sleep hourly movements active minutes and it has breathing sessions that you can adjust to 2 or 5 minutes.
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.
Your fitbit charge 2 calculates floors using an altimeter which is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
It does not track the floors climbed.
In this case there are a couple of things that may be causing your tracker to record extra floors.
Thanks for taking the time to report the situation you are experiencing with your charge 3 tracking floors.
Simple comfortable and very helpful.
I realized this on the second day and looked at the blog and reset it as directed.
