Why has my forerunner started to add an additional 10 to 20 flights of stairs per daywithin the past couple of weeks?

I am wondering if something has changed in the software, or if one of my sensors has gone haywire?

I have been getting notifications that I completed 10 flights of stairs, as I am just walking around my house. I also noticed going on hikes with friends this past month, I always seem to have an extra 10-20 stories added to my hike. At the end of every day, even if I feel I have only gone up and down my home stairs 4-5 times... It will report to me that I have completed around 23 flights of stairs. I don't remember this happening before.

Ironically, my wife's Venue 2 used to do this... she used to have a bunch of extra stairs, and now hers has stopped doing it but mine does instead. Smh.

  • If you case is the same as mine, it will be the barometric altimeter. Contact Garmin support, and they can provide steps to verify and then provide appropriate options for you if it is found to be faulty.

  • I got simmilar issue from time to time. Just I get use to it. Garmin 945 get worse since I bought it 3 years ago. Aspecially disconnecting from garmin mobile is notorious.  I will not change it to other brand as I stil llike it but user experience  goes down. I don;t know if I would recommend it to others.
