Tracking Weight with my Fitbit: Why Decimal Points?

[demarya]

I periodically add my current weight [at least once a week, sometimes more often] and use whole numbers since my scale doesn't give me decimal points [though quite some time ago, I may have listed my weight with a .5 added to the weight if the needle on the scale was in between the 2 numbers. But I haven't done that in quite some time.

So how come it tells me that I've gained or lost a certain amount that includes numbers with decimal points, like a 0.9 or 0.3 or whatever?

Just wondering...

Do you use metric units (kg), by any chance? If so, Fitbit converts everything to imperial units (lbs) internally, then back to metric. This could explain why you're getting decimals.
