How accurate does it count steps? I have a Fitbit Charge HR. The step counter is worthless. Does the One count steps accurately?

Question

Yes it does & you can also access the Fitbit One's web page interface to change the length of your stride. Look under the tabs at the Dashboard.

It's pretty accurate, IMHO. I've tested it by comparing my actual steps to what the Fitbit says, and it is pretty close. It only seems to have problems when doing housework and the steps are not as well-defined.

Yes, this is way more accurate than the Charge. The Charge will vary widely, either undercounts if I'm on an elliptical, or overcounts if I'm working throughout the day.

I have found it to be quite accurate. Doesn't require my arms to be moving.

I find it is accurate. I attend a step aerobics class and multiple spin classes each week. For greater accuracy, I clip the Fitbit One to the bottom of my shorts. Even clipped to the waistband of my pants, I find that doing a "football drill" is accurately recorded for steps.
