And by crunching the movement data recorded, your Fitbit can tell if you were walking or running along or simply tapping your hand on a desk. The Fitbit uses complex algorithms to tell when you are in motion on your own two feet vs. It rules out motions it determines weren't steps, so your step count at day's end will be remarkably accurate. To see how many steps you logged at the end of the day, first push the main button on the side of the Fitbit. Now you can push the side button repeatedly, or tap the screen to move to different stats.
You can also open the paired Fitbit app on your phone or access your dashboard on a computer, to view both your daily step log and step history. Go to the "Activities" tab, then click "Today," or choose a date range. Get the latest Fitbit stock price here. For you.

I have the ability to add Bluetooth and WiFi to increase the accuracy, but I don't see how that would change my issue but not understanding how it works exactly, maybe it would. The issue I am looking at seems as though the daily mileage tracker and individual walk tracker are two separate things that don't talk to each other like weather apps where the daily and hourly forecasts don't agree with each other.
The mileage I ended with was not the sum of the mileage I started with, and the distance of my walk. It's like the walk tracker is using the GPS and the daily tracker is using steps.

It's important you have a measured stride and many of us did that by walking around an athletic track which gives you some distance and averages the stride at walking pace.. I'm fortunate where I live that I have a straight level street, and all of the house block frontages are Also in my testing I found that Fitbit varies the stride it's using if it detects your speed of moving drifts into a running speed and distance can vary because of that..
Your distance is estimated by your stride length. By default, stride length is calculated using your height and sex. If you feel that your distance estimate isn't accurate, you can adjust your stride length by following the instructions in How do I measure my stride length?. I still have the issue that and I'm just putting numbers in here because I can't see my prior posts the way I came into this I started my walk with 7 miles for the day.
I tracked my walk for 1 mile. My daily miles say 8. I'm guessing it ignores the tracked data, and just uses stride for the daily calculation. But in the link he states that the stride is used to calculate distance and the moderator is involved.. So maybe we get a response.. When I test some of these theories I use the Activity Record option in the PC Activity log which is a copy of your actual data and graphed every minute.. Non destructive and you get the image below which is a minute x minute analysis.
You can also edit this type of activity Back calculating this, it calculated my stride at Fitbit have stated in this community that the calculation they use to determine default stride lengths is proprietary and cannot be disclosed. However, others have reverse engineered their own data and come to a conclusion that the default walking stride is 0. SunsetRunner You can use the Activity Record to examine segments of your walking and back calculate what Fitbit sees as your stride..
