Hello,

I have asked this before, why isn’t my Inspire 3 recording my floors?  I was told it isn’t capable of doing that because it doesn’t have altimeter.  But also told that the reason my dashboard still had floors on it was because it was an old dashboard.  Well I realized one of my phones actually did have the new dashboard and is still showing “floors” as a metric.  Now I am starting to think that what I assumed before is correct.  That the metric is on dashboard because I still have other fitbits with altimeters connected to my account, which I speculated before but wasn’t able to respond because the question had been “answered”.  So I just wanted to put this out there in case anyway else notices this as well, 

Oh and attached is a picture of my dashboard for my Inspire 3

The Inspire 3 does not have an altimeter, therefore cannot measure floors.  I would expect your floor counter would always be at zero.  However, Fitbit does not automatically remove that metric display from trackers cannot measure it.  It might seem a reasonable thing to do but Fitbit basically sticks with the same display for all devices, perhaps for consistency.  It would still show "floors" even if you had never had a Fitbit device that did measure floors.  If you wish, you probably could remove floors from the display yourself.  I expect it would be by using the small pencil/edit icon near the top right, but I have not switched to the new display type yet so am not totally sure about that.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Thank you for taking time to reply!  It was really more of a statement for anyone else wondering why their Inspire 3 is showing the floors metric.  I came to understand before this post that it doesn’t have an altimeter.  

But another poster was convinced the metric would disappear when my app updated, but once I did the floors remained.  So my theory was because I still have multiple Fitbit's active on my account that metric remained. So my post was supposed to be informative in nature, but with the question mark I see how that wasn’t clear.🙃

I haven’t explored editing metrics and maybe I will do that, but I do sometimes wear a backup with an altimeter.  Thank you for the suggestion though!
