Fitbit floors accuracy. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed. Your device is designed to detect pressure changes based on elevation gain but other types of pressure changes such as a gust of wind a weather change or opening a door can occasionally cause your device to register extra floors. The fitbit charge will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time.

It counts every 10 feet gained as a floor climbed. Your tracker adds one floor every time you increase your elevation by 10 feet while moving which is the average. Fitbits allegedly measure how many floors you ve climbed using an altimeter which measures when air pressure decreases slightly. By calibrating your fitbit versa 2 fitbit charge 3 or even basic trackers like the inspire hr you re giving it a helping hand in logging your activity from the wrist whether that s floors.

Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters. Fitbit accuracy for floor tracking. 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. Ok i ve got the ionic my wife has the charge 3 when we go out walking my wifes charge 3 registers similar distance but a ridiculously higher amount of floors for example we went on a walk around southwold uk my ionic registered 17 floors whilst her charge 3 registered 78 floors.

Fitbit devices detect floors with an altimeter which is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure. Fitbits allegedly measure how many floors you climbed. Your device is designed to detect pressure changes based on elevation gain but other types of pressure changes such as a gust of wind a weather change or opening a door can occasionally cause. For example a gust of wind a weather change opening a door or air conditioner may occasionally cause your tracker to register a floor or two.

Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up. I d like to add that fitbit devices detect floors with an altimeter which is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
