Vivoactive 3 Problem

Former Member

please move if this is not the correct place....I couldn't find a dedicated forum for the Vivoactive 3.

The amount of stairs climbed / altimeter has all of a sudden gone completely out of whack. It's way over-estimating.

I get the vibration notification saying I have reached my goal of ten flights of stairs a day when I've maybe gone up two flights of stairs. This continues throughout the day and the watch ends up showing that I've climbed 20/22 flights of stairs by the end of the day when in reality it's probably around 6-8 most days.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I have turned off the watch and on again and it sorted the problem for one day only.

    Yeah same here. Even when running, my courses profile is wrong as I end back at my house but it shows it as Aaaah lower.

    As for the stairs..... I climbed 1 flight today and sitting on 24.

    It down a software update about 3 days ago and since then it's way out of synca

    Having the same issue. Also, elevation is suddenly out of whack, compared with friends with other Garmin devices.
