My vivoactive music 3 badly overestimated floor climbed. I am talking 10 -  30 floors a day more. I regular ,,achieve" my floor goal by sitting. Looking at stats seems like it started around august last year. Nothing about my lifestyle has changed.

    I am seeing the same with my Vivoactive 3. SW5.50 seems to have made it a lot worse and very noticable.

    I’m having the same issues. I gone from my watch counting the right amount of about 10-16 floors a day to at one point last week my watch saying I’d done 40 floors when I’d only done 15. Anyone have any clue how to fix this.

    I'm having the same issue as well on my VA3. Hoping there will be a fix for this soon.

    its all to do with the built in barometer it apperantly gets full of sweat etc there is a tiny hole in the back of it that needs cleaning   try that, clean with some solvent

    I have the same problem. Additionally, it has started to overestimate the intensity minutes badly too. I have 320 intensive minutes per day without going to the gym

    Is it also misreading your heart rate as being abnormally high? My understanding of the intensity minutes thing was your heart rate staying in an elevated band for a sustained period (I think for me it was north of 100).

    Same problem here with my VA3. Since the latest update I do at least 40 floors, when normally i do about 10 - 15 floors ach day.

    Did a restart, cleaned the little hole in the back, nothing helps.

    When I checked the connect app, I could see it was like this since the update to 7.20.

    Everything else works fine, no problem with battery or so.
