I have a series 4 Nike Apple Watch. I’ve done 13 flights of stairs outside that are 30 to 40 feet high being counted as 2 flights on my watch.
Later I reset my fitness calibration and went for a 22 minute walk, then came inside and did two sets of stairs and nothing registered.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
I reset the fitness calibration and went for a walk the other day. I unpaired and repaired my watch as well. It will not show flights of stairs during a HIIT workout.
There are 3 sets of 12 stairs each and I have gone up and down literally 10 times and my workout has shown “0 flights”.
I calibrated my watch with a walk. I just did 21 flights of 3 sets of stairs each; a flight = up and down once. My watch showed two flightS of stairs for my entire day and I live in a two story house. The flight has 3 sets of 12 stairs each.
This issue is linked to watchOS bug and can be fixed but we need the Dev team to listen to our complaint!! It’s unacceptable that watch is counting stairs during my sleep and sitting still. I have over 100 flights climbed per day.

Apple Dev team PLEASE can you acknowledge there is a problem in WatchOS 6.2.6 effecting many users and FIX it ASAP.
It’s a big effecting FLIGHTS CLIMBED in the activity app.
The watch is recording 100 of flights a day despite being still watching tv.
This might be a problem with the barometric altimeter settings,and they need to be reset by unpairing and re-pairing the watch.
Do I need to set it up as new or is backup ok?
Try the restore from backup first and the setup as new only if you have too.
That did help. However, I noticed when I used HIIT in the Apple workout it doesn’t recognize flights of stairs.
Try unpairing and repairing and setup as new, not from a backup.
That is how I set my watch up a few weeks ago. Do you think I should do it again?
Also, how do I delete the old watch pairings from my phone?
No pairing or unpairing would work.
Even pairing to a different phone doesn’t change anything. This has to be a big bug in watchos 6.2.6
