Issues with my Apple Watch severely miscalculating flights climbed

I’m always have issues with my I watch severely miscalculating flights climbed. It has happened in all three Iwatches I’ve had. When climbing stairs it counts about 50% of the flights I’ve done. For example if I climb 20 flights of stairs in a day it may show 9. The bigger difference is when hiking. I will hike 1000 ft in elevation gain which the Iwatch will show accurately in the hiking app, but will say I’ve only done 6 flights of stairs. This has been going on for years. I feel like I’ve done everything to try and fix this. Is this just an apple problem?

My watch is calculating flights of stairs every day, I rarely go up and downstairs. I have had up 100 flights a day. How do I resolve this problem?
