Does it count steps going up and down stairs?

Sorry but I lost mine (both of them) the first day--do not try this if you have any tummy roll!

Yes it does. Any steps you take at all it counts. Also, it holds up to seven days worth of counts.

I just tried it. Counted going down, but not up. Might be just me; my feet are hurting today.

No. Surprisingly, it's calibrated to detect actual steps, not random movement. Granted you might find that you accumulate a few more steps than reality, but maybe only a few out of thousands of steps in a day.

Doesn't count the steps if you have it in your pocket, bra or clipped to your belt, but I clip it to my shoe when I get on my stationary bike and it works fine.

No not at all. No need to enter your height or stride length either. You simply take it out of the box, set up your profile, clip it to yourself and start walking. It does count your steps fairly accurately.

No. It just monitors actual steps you take. Swimming for example would not be monitored either.

No need for that. In general, it does a very good job counting steps. It has a default stride length that works well if you're close to average height for your gender; if you're particularly tall or short you can set a custom stride length in the online profile that you can set.

It's pretty good for walking but it does not count steps. It will tell you how far you've gone, what your pace is per mile, what your average pace is, and your calories. I hope this helps!

Sorry no, but you could keep a record of the steps and then calculate each walk.

It does count your steps accurately. As long as you are in a walking motion, it will count it. Anything over 10 minutes of continuous walking counts as aerobic. We love ours and would recommend purchasing. Have never had a more reliable pedometer.

I believe that it depends on how slow you walk. While volunteering in a classroom, I slowly walked around the student desks and noticed that it didn't register all my steps. I regret I can't be more specific. This was my only negative with the pedometer (other than it doesn't wash well!)

It does not count steps, but it's great for walking & running. It tracks mileage and calories, and you can set intervals up as well.

It does count calories, steps and miles walked. I'm still getting used to all functions. I'm going to do accuracy check with a friends monitor to see how close readouts are. Hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.

It does count steps weather on stairs or flat ground, but does not tell you which were stairs.

You need to take about 30 0r so steps before it starts counting, but once it does it catches up. If you are still for a while it will do the same thing.

Yes, the Ultra does count hills and altitude as steps climbed. Just a word of caution, it does also counts altitude as steps climbed when driving in the car going over an overpass for example. To avoid this, I put my Fitbit on the charger while driving in the car. It will not count steps while docked.

No, the step count resets at midnight to "0". There is no carry over from the previous day same as with some of the other pedometer's I've used.

I do not think it counts steps. It is basically a GPS on your wrist and does well on miles and speed. My wife loves it.
