One not recording steps

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.
My Fitbit One has been working fine for over a year but in the last week it has stopped recording all my steps. I have days where no steps at all are recorded and some like today where only a couple of hundred despite the fact I have been on my feet half the day. It is set to all day sync but the last few days when I have looked at my iPhone at the endong the day it hasn't synced at all. I sync it but very low steps and nothing showing for hours on end on the daily steps screen

Try a restart. Sometimes doing it a few times helps.

I'm having the same problem. Have been using FitBits since 2004, and I've always been happy with how they've functioned and recorded steps. Have had the One for a few years, and because it was suddenly not recording steps reliably, I replaced it with a brand new one, and I'm having the same problem.

 

I use the treadmill a lot, and it's a nice way to compare steps/miles with the FitBit during use. Again, the One was very reliable. Today, I did .5 miles on the treadmill, but the FitBit only recorded about half that distance. Since this is a brand new device, and the problems are the same as with the old one, clearly it's a bigger problem that I anticipated. Customer Support says I need to wear it somewhere else on my body to get a better reading, but I've always clipped it to my waistband with great success. Why I should suddenly need to place it elsewhere on my body after over a decade of success on my waistband is puzzling.

@Jcam Did you contact support? Link is above

 

@Baxter65 It will not be accurate on a treadmill. Your stride  different then walking outside

I've noticed within the last 5 or 6 days that my FitBit One is tracking considerably less steps than it was before.  I wear an Apple Watch as well and the step count prior to last weekend was only a difference of a hundred or so steps.  But now the difference will be anywhere between 500-1300 steps.  Feel like there was some sort of an update to FitBit One software that went wonky with accuracy!
