Wrong floor calculating

Hi, About a week ago I noticed that the clock counts a lot of floors at 70-120 per day. But I just can not pass so much

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

One thing to remember is that the watch counts floors based off of the elevation you have walked/ran/cycled. So walking up a hill can count towards going up a "floor" or two.

While the watch does determine number of floors based on altitude, it's a little more complicated than that.The watch also takes into account what sort of motion you're engaged in. Riding a bike or riding in a car up a hill will not result in the phone thinking you've climbed stairs. Even changing altitude while hiking doesn't tend to result in flights of stairs climbed being recorded
