does charge 6 count jumps for jump rope?

as per title. my old mi band used to do this quite well. lost it and wanted to buy something more premium but cant find anywhere whether there is a native jump counting capability on this device. i know various watches do it (and so did my old cheap band) but dont want watch and wanted to get something more premium this time round many thanks

I cannot answer from experience, but I would guess that yes, because all fitbits (and all trackers worn on wrist) infer steps from wrist movement.  One would have to try it to be sure whether it would count one rope turn as one step or two, or even two turns as one step, but I would expect it would be a steady relationship.

Of course your best bet would be if you know someone with a fitbit that you could borrow even for a few minutes to try.  Any model should give same results, looking at step count before and after.

Hi, I'm a Fitbit charge 6 user. I have tried jumping rope with Fitbit charge 6, it counts 1 jump as 1 step. I think it doesn't have a rope jumping counter feature. If there is please someone write here.

@dunnofit it doesn't count jumps. It will add steps for each jump but that's more a side effect (like adding steps when swimming or cycling). Fitbit doesn't provide many sport-specific metrics.
