Floors Climbed Increasing When Performing an Activity

Many outdoor watches can track the number of floors climbed, using the built-in barometer and accelerometer to measure elevation changes as you climb stairs. These watches allow for entering a daily goal for the amount of floors climb each day.

Watches may display that you have climbed floors while recording walking or running outdoors activities, among other activities, when increasing elevation by 10 feet and walking/running up a grade of 10% or higher.

For accurate floors climbed recording, ensure that your altimeter is calibrated correctly, that your arms are swinging freely, and your hands are free of objects while performing the activity. See Related below for more information on capturing accurate floors climbed.
