Floors Climbed Increasing When Performing an Activity  

Many outdoor watches can track the number of floors climbed, using a built-in barometer to 
measure elevation changes as you climb stairs. These watches allow for entering a daily goal for 
the amount of floors climb each day. Watches may display that you have climbed floors while 
recording walking or running outdoors activities, among other activities, when increasing 
elevation by 10 feet and walking/running up a grade of 10% or higher.
