Which Fitbit Counts Floors

Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.

Which fitbit counts floors.

Please note that fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation. It s a wasted metric in my opinion. I get 11 floors just by showering with my fitbit. Things like wind and air pressure can wildly effect the floor counts as well.

As another example when i downhill ski i have giant floor counts minimal steps but big enough heartrate spikes to elevate my calorie count for the day.

I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me. Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a stairmaster inclined treadmill or other stationary exercise equipment.

This is a sensor that measures altitude based on atmospheric pressure. If i pause after one floor then make the next flight it will count two. It does not register floors when you go down. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet.
