After an enjoyable 12 mile walk in upland country, I find that the App reports that I’ve ascended 136 flights. As I didn’t climb a single staircase, can’t I change units to feet? Or even Metres? I am otherwise well pleased with the Watch.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5
It isn’t a measure of outdoor altitude. It when you climb stairs. The altitude is seen in the workouts.
The flight of stairs can’t be changed. They are stairs.
Open the Health app on iPhone and tap on the “Walking + Running Distance” Dashboard. Scroll down where you will see the “Unit” settingand tap on that. Choose “Mi” for Miles or “km” for Kilometers. Return back to the Health Dashboard to see the change in measurement.
I've tried all that. But ascent stubbornly is recorded as flights of stairs.
Hi, Seanfromllanelli. I think you're right. But that's not the most helpful measure of outdoor altitude :-(
Now that IS useful to know. Thank You!
No worries! Any other questions come back and ask!
Apple Watch health app. Change units.
