Apple Watch Series 9 showing incorrect elevation and floors climbed “My Apple Watch Series 9’s compass is not working, elevation fluctuates wildly (sometimes by thousands of meters), and cardio fitness sometimes records and sometimes doesn’t. Even though I run 7 km and don’t climb a single floor, it still shows 40 or 50 floors climbed.” [Re-Titled by Moderator]
