Anyone else have issues with the ionic not being accurate for counting flights of stairs!? Some days it’s spot on and others it missed 6+. Kind of frustrating especially for the cost you pay

At any point during the days where it's really off, do you have your arms over head?  Like doing turns and such when dancing (or whatever it is you do).  I dance and often do turns, so yes my counts are sometimes off.

 

Also, any of the "Just Dance" games on the Wii (or your current gaming system) will have the same result.  It's because of the altimeter in the watch accidentally mistaking those types of movement for going up stairs.
