Ionic Over counting Floors

[Bob18]

I keep getting days with 100 floors walked. With my surge a normal day was 9 floors. I have tried to chat with fit bit folks, but they keep saying the atmospheric pressure line. I try to explain that this make no sense, and the fitbit folks have just acted like its normal.  I expect more for such an expense watch. 

I have tried resetting, and restoring to factory defaults. 

Any other folks had some solutions?

Sorry to say but the weather does effect it.

@Bob18 actually, it makes a lot of sense. The pressure may change quite a lot withing couple of hours. But that's not everything. If you are staying in airconditioned spaces like offices or gyms this will also affect the barometric pressure. Although, I'm not sure whether it should affect the ascent so much. I observed indoor altitude change by about 5-6 meters over 4 hours which isn't a lot. I don't know how Fitbit recognizes floors by my thinking is that it should recognize when you moving and take a difference of the pressure only from that time which should prevent being affected by the weather change. Also, make sure you are not obstructing the barometer hole (there should be one as I remember). This may affect measurements very badly.

One day my old blaze said I had gotten like 5200 floors and congratulated me on climbing to space 🤣

Thank you! That is my main point I can see it being off some but not this substantial.

Also my surge never had this issue so that’s what my struggle is. A supposed to be better product is less accurate.
