I have never been able to get accurate exercise stats on my fitbit blaze, while doing the stairclimber. The sairclimbing machine I use where I workout will say I have over a 100 floors climbed yet my fitbit blaze only recognizes like one or two floors climbed. Typically on days when I dont even use the stairclimber is when my fitbit shows the most floors climbed. I can do the stairclimber for over an hour straight and the exercise stats are always way off for stairs om my fitnit blaze. I already have auto recognize set for stairs climbed in my settings. Even when I manually enter the start & stop time while doing the stairclimber it is still way off & only recognizes one or two floors. Does anyone know of any other tips to get better accuracy for the fitbit blaze to recognize stair climbing properly? Thanks in advance

Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you're going up or down in elevation. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time. It does not register floors when you go down.

Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a StairMaster, inclined treadmill, or other stationary exercise equipment. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure to detect elevation change, and therefore requires that you physically change elevation in order to properly record floors.
