Just as dramaqueendiva informed the flex does not track floors.
Does fitbit flex 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.
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.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.

Elevator is a c.
It does not register floors when you go down.
I agree with you it doesn t make mush sense does it.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.

Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
When i looked online today floors climbed is now listed under features and specs for both inspire and inspire hr.
I also took the quiz to be matched with a product selecting floors climbed as my only desired feature and fitbit matched me.
I ve always read that the inspire does not count stairs.
But all your steps for both.
Iamemily1 thanks for joining the fitbit community.
I usually do around 10 15 and that would be the case for the last couple of days.
Just to knock off that reason as well.

Climbed up 2 floors and the count showed 8 when it should have shown 9.
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.
Unlike the page of the charge which does list an altimeter additional to the other two.
Climbed another flight of stairs and check again and the number did not not change.
And yes i did stop to check the result and wasn t running.
Just like makmak the flex doesn t have an altimeter so it can t count floors climbed.
They were around 10 feet.
It was still 8.
Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.
Vertical speed vs horizontal speed.
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.
It will register one floor when you climb about ten feet at one time.
Unfortunately fitbit s floor functionality does not recognize the incremental effort of climbing up.
