I’ve realised a while back that the floor count on my Blaze is way off reality. Just made a conscious effort to see how bad it is: Walkeld on my totally level kitchen floor for about 15 minutes and ‘achieved’ some 20 floors.

@Bnice33 Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! Sorry to hear that your Blaze if over counting floors climbed. Your device uses it's altimeter to detect variance in altitude. It will count 1 floor for every 10 ft it detects you climbed. There are situations that may affect the floor count like stormy weather (that has an actual impact on atmospheric pressure), gusts of wind, an AC unit in a closed room or opening a door. I suggest you start by cleaning the back of the device with cotton and rubbing alcohol then use compressed air at a distance to clear the altimeter's opening. Finally restart it.
Let me know how it goes.

I have the same issue. Just walking indicates climbing stairs. I suspect that it may be that I may have a bit of a limp. My watch is always cleaned after treadmill. It's just a minor thing for me. I've been pretty happy with the Blaze.
