The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate
Your watch uses an internal barometer to measure
elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is
equal to 3 m (10 ft.).
• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while
climbing stairs.
• In windy environments, cover the watch with your
sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic
readings.
