Had to see if i was remembering correctly i ve had a flex for the last year or so and it doesn t do stairs.
Which fitbit counts stairs.
Hi fellow charge 3 users i m a new new user and having issues with the counts of stairs.
From tiny pedometers that can be slotted into jewelry to a range of pedometer watches.
This one also does not count stairs.
I also get that there is likely a certain amount of leeway in this measurement and is not always 100 accurate.
If i recall correctly any elevation of at least ten feet counts as a flight of stairs.
See these top 5 of these options below.
This morning i went for a walk and it recorded 2 flights.
The fitbit flex is perhaps the most commonly seen fitness tracker on the market.
A 10 foot increase equals one floor regardless of how many steps you take.
Walking up a steep hill counts a standard flight of stairs works etc.
But my charge 3 counts flights all the time.
Incidentally i m a migraine sufferer and know all about pressure chang.
I wish that fitbit would answer with an update or something.
Anyone else in same situation.
I recently switched from a charge 2 to a charge 3.
I don t believe it.
Now retailing for an average 100 the fitbit flex is a slim and sleek bracelet that uses blinking led lights to represent your steps and goals.
Took the same walk a few hours later and it recorded 15.
It s all over the place.
Fitbit has many styles and sizes that fit perfectly with any attire.
I d say my charge 2 was about 80 accurate sometimes when i went up 3 flights it would.
I bought a new versa special edition it did not count stairs since it s christmas i gifted it and wrote used on it not fooling anyone and bought a new regular versa for myself.

I am fully aware of how the fitbit counts stairs it senses the barometric pressure and counts every 10 of elevation as a flight of stairs.
The fitbit community is a gathering place for real people who wish to exchange ideas solutions tips techniques and insight about the fitbit products and services they love.
Have read earlier posts and moderators claim problem is fixed.
Your fitbit is an altimeter so things like barimetric pressure and wind can impact its count.
So if we went on a hilly walk it ll count the hills as stairs.
One of the chief complaints from the fitbit detractors is it often accidentally counts steps that don t happen.
I am having the same issue with my charge 3.
