Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.
Does fitbit flex count floors climbed.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
I agree with you it doesn t make mush sense does it.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
Climbed another flight of stairs and check again and the number did not not change.

Vertical speed vs horizontal speed.
They were around 10 feet.
Just as dramaqueendiva informed the flex does not track floors.
I ve always read that the inspire does not count stairs.
Just like makmak the flex doesn t have an altimeter so it can t count floors climbed.
However answering to your question fitbit trackers count floors using an altimeter that detects when you re going up or down in elevation.
Just to knock off that reason as well.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.
It will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me.

Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up.
Iamemily1 thanks for joining the fitbit community.
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.
But all your steps for both.
Climbed up 2 floors and the count showed 8 when it should have shown 9.
Unlike the page of the charge which does list an altimeter additional to the other two.
It does not register floors when you go down.
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.
And yes i did stop to check the result and wasn t running.
When i looked online today floors climbed is now listed under features and specs for both inspire and inspire hr.
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 was still 8.
There s no catch in the stairs.
