I'm starting to suspect that my Charge 4 may just be on its last legs.
Yesterday I went on a walk, logged just over 4 miles, about 9300 steps for the day. But during my walk, the number of steps was jumping around, up or down over 1000 steps before it finally settled on a number. I checked the app but also checked the device itself. Maybe I misread it in the bright sun but it's not the first time that during the day the readings would jump around all over the place.
I compared against my Apple Watch, which generally tends to have several hundred fewer steps because I believe it depends on my swinging the arm consistently whereas sometimes I'm holding something with my left arm -- which is why I keep the tracker in my pocket rather than wear it on my wrist.
There are rumors that the Charge 7 could come out this year and that it might bring back the feature of counting floors climbed.
However, it appears I can no longer view the years of data I've accumulated so I'm not sure why I should bother. Not that I was scrolling back years of data but I always liked that it was there. I guess it's useful to see near-term trends, like the last week or month or year.
Apple Health, I don't know how far you can go back but I wouldn't want to do it on an iPhone screen. However, there is an iPad app so I'm syncing my Health data to view on a bigger screen. Google took that away by getting rid of the web Dashboard.
