Fitbit Step Counter Inaccurate

I spoke with support they sent me a new one.

Fitbit step counter inaccurate.

One day it was at 30 000 and i knew it was much lower than that. Through our testing we ve found fitbit to be among the most accurate in sleep tracking heart monitoring and step counting with its in house algorithms improving all the time. Here are a few things that might interfere with your step counter s accuracy. It seems pointless putting a step tracker in a wrist device even my android phone gives a far more accurate step count though not as good as the one.

Perform the test 2 more times walking 100 steps 3 different times. But this algorithm might lead to accidentally counting steps or missing the steps you take. Your fitbit fitness tracker is supposed to record various things like steps calories and time. Confirm inspire and inspire 2 are set to on wrist when you wear your tracker on your wrist and on clip when you wear your tracker in the clip.

Walk 100 steps making sure to count a step each time one of your feet touches the ground. Each time write down the number of steps. Hello i just got my versa yesterday and so far i m quite disappointed that the step count is very inaccurate. Yes my charge 3 counts more than double the number of steps that my fitbit one does using them at the same time.

Is there going to be a fix on this soon or perhaps i should be exchanging this with another model or even another brand. When you wear a fitbit device in a clip make sure you wear it properly. But recently the count shrunk and cost me my daily streak of 10 000 steps per day. This is how your fitbit is able to count your steps as you move forward to walk but not count steps as you sit in your car and drive through traffic.

What s weird is that initially i was walking about 3 mph and each mile was about 2 400 2 500 steps or about 120 steps per minute. It s done this 3 times in the last 2 day. When wearing the fitbit regardless of what arm or dominant setting when walking 100 steps it s only count between 60 70 of those steps. However if i put the fitbit in my pocket it counts my steps almost perfect.

Over the last couple days i have looked down at my charge 3 and the step count was grossly inflated. Pause then check your device to see your step count and write down the number of steps you took and the number of steps your device counted. This guide will walk you through fixing any issues you have with your fitness tracker not recording your steps. When it fails to do that it feels like there s no point having the tracker.

And it s now closer to 90 steps per minute a 25 reduction in a few weeks.
