I go up and down stairs several times a dday but my apple watch does not record any exercise time as including "flight"

Why does my apple watch never record flights of stairs?

I use stairs several times a day- it says 0 flights - only recods steps.

Why?


Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

I thought of that..But it seems the app should be sensitive enough to detect just going up a normal incline of stairs if it purports to record "flights climbed".

I used to run up the stairs- but I am 78 and less inclined or able to do that anymore.

I suppose it will have to be enough that I know that some of my steps in a day were done on an incline. disappointing but....
