Not counting stairs?

[emeleel]

I did search the forum before posting, but everything seems to be about the Versa counting too many stairs, or stairs when the person hasn't used stairs, or about trying to get rid of the stair count.

Mine doesn't count all my stairs and I'm wondering why. I've gone down and back up my stairs today at least 5 round trips, and my watch only shows 1 trip for the day, period. Any ideas why? Only thing I can think of is the fact that I take stairs so slowly.

Floors are counted using an altimeter. An altimeter is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation, so the it calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure. Your trackers register a floor when they detect continuous motion combined with an elevation gain of about 10 feet. Given the fact that 10 feet is an average between residential and commercial floor heights, although commercial floors in particular tend to be higher than residential floors.

It will add floors when it is windy or cold.
