Flight of stairs

Is there a way to correct the flights of stairs climbed? My watch is never accurate in this regard. For example, I have been up and down our stairs at least 5 or 6 times today and my Apple Watch 7 shows 1 flight climbed and this seems to be typical. Based on what previous comments I have read Apple claims to be pretty accurate but I would strongly disagree.

Hello barnhillme,


You'll want to calibrate your Apple Watch to see if that helps correct this issue: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support


In addition to those steps, be sure your Apple Watch and paired iPhone are updated as that can resolve odd issues. If updates are needed be sure to back up your iPhone first. Here are some great guides to help, just in case:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If the behavior continues after these steps reach out to Apple Support to look into this more: Get Support


Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
