Hi,

i noticed that my AW4 has since a few days a strange behaviour to count floors i walked. Currently i have 30 floors in my statistics. I think in real, i did only 4 or so. The coolest thing is in the morning i awaked and the watch recorded 2 floor :cool: No, im not a sleepwalker :p

I already did a reset of the watch and reconnected to my iPhone.

Could this be a problem with the latest watchOS?

Thank you

Johannes

Floors counted use barometric pressure and movement. It should not have given you two floors when you were not wearing but if the watch got moved . . . .

I got over 25 floors when our last hurricane came through.

If the air pressure changes it can think you are going up or down steps. Pretty silly.
 
I get a swap from Apple now all is fine and the floor count is correct
