Step count My watch does not count steps when I am using one of the Apple Fitness routines. I am usually using the dance or HIIT routines. I am definitely moving but it does not count steps. Is that a malfunction or is it just not going to count steps?

"Stair stepper" activity on Apple Watch 4 when walking building steps First, I selected "stair stepper" activity on watch and clicked to start. Walked up 12 flights of steps in my building and then took elevator down. Repeated (for total of 10 times until I climbed 120 flights. Apple watch only recorded 58 flights. Next, I repeated the above (120 flights) and didn't select "stair stepper". Apple watch recorded 120 flights. Has anyone had similar experience? Assume that using "stair stepper" activity for this kind of exercise will not yield accurate results. Your thoughts?

Try a RESET.....Press the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.
