floorsClimbed on Fenix 3

A feature which is available in SDK release X is only available on devices supporting that version.

Since the feature you want is only available from 2.1.0 it will not be available on the fenix 3 which does not support this version.

So, the simple answer is that you cannot get floors climbed on the fenix 3.

Not all features which are supported on a device are available via CIQ.

Fenix 3 doesn't support SDK 2.x.x. Its version level finished at 1.4.x so even if watches can measure floors, CIQ cannot read it. This feature is available only for CIQ 2.x enabled devices with barometer, such as VVAHR, Fenix5, Chronos, FR935..

Over time, you'll learn what has CIQ 1.x vs 2.x. Newer devices, 2.x, older ones, 1.x is the basic rule. If it came out before the vivoactive-hr, it's 1.x is a guideline. Here's a list (a bit outdated as it talks about 1.3 when 1.4 is current, and things like the rino and oregon are now on 2.x, and new devices like the fenix5 aren't listed but are 2.x)

"Supported Devices" is generally used for things where not all 1.x (or 2.x) devices support that call. A good example is ActMon.getHeartRateHistory(), which is available on both 1.x and 2.x devices, but only devices with a built in OHRM. (so an f3hr but not an f3 as an example)

So, if I am reading this correctly, even though the specs for Fenix 3 say that the watch can display Floors Climbed, the CIQ software that we develop cannot access that data... (?)

Thanks for that feature matrix.
