Was wondering if you need to have your iPhone with you when walking up flights of stairs in order for Apple Watch to record flights climbed. Flights climbed is measured in the health app on iPhone. Does anyone know?
Open the Health app on your iPhone. Tap the "Health Data" icon in the lower right corner. It looks like four little squares. Tap the "Activity" button. It's the big red one at the top left. You should then see something like this:

I have an iPhone 6 Plus- how will that help me count flights of stairs better then just using the watch?
If you just use the watch, you will not be counting flights of stairs at all. As noted above, the watch has no sensors to enable it to do that. Your phone does. No phone = no flights counted.
How do I do that? When I follow online instructions and go to the iPhone Health app and go to data section i dobt see fitness choice. All I swe is Activities and when I go to thst section I see my activities I did today on my Apple Watch.
Got it! That item on the exercise menu doesn't come up until you actually do a flight. I was looking for something that would show me 0 flights before I started. Once o Sid a few flights, that showed up! Thanks!😀👍
The Apple Watch does not have a barometric sensor. You need an iPhone 6/6+.
I learned this the hard way when I left my phone sitting on my desk thinking my watch had it covered. One more nudge toward a fitbit. Come on Apple, you are better than this.

Yeah, reading the manual would definitely have been easier and less frustrating.

How do you do what?
How do I count flights of stairs using my phone? The instructions I found said to choose flight of stairs from fitness but I can't find a fitness section in the app, just my daily activit.
Glad you got it figured out!
Does Apple Watch measure flights climbed?
