Does GW4 track floors climbed?

I don't see it as part of the Samsung Health info when I tap that heart thing with the different colors. My GW tracked floors, though it was rarely accurate.

As far as I know, it doesn't since that has wanky for some time on SH. However, I used an old watch face on my GA2 and it showed Floors climbed, but again not very accurate (misses a ton of floors). Haven't tried that old watch face on my GW4 yet. I'll try it and report back. SH app DOES NOT show floors climbed anymore as far as I know.

I remember seeing it on my A2 but now that I think about it it's been awhile. Cause I go up and down stairs alot at work.

Look at this. I found this app that converts .gwd files created using Galaxy Watch Designer to .apk files to use on Wear OS 3. If you look at the first screenshot, you'll see that I have floor count complication at the top and when I tried to convert it says that only step counts, heart rate.

I wonder if Samsung couldn't figure out a way to get accurate floors climbed count so they just did away with it.

If you tap the step counter on the main watch face itself then scroll down 1 step then you will see the floor count, not sure if this is what you require.

What do you consider the main watch face? One of the Samsung pre-installed faces?

Sorry yes, the premium analogue face I am using, didn't think when I posted last.

If you add the health summary widg... Tile, you can long press it then select "edit" and remove a tile (stress) and replace it with another option.

Floors is one of the available options.

You Sir or Ma'am are a GENIUS!

That having said, I just did this edit (along with others) and the floors count is way off

Thanks for noticing!

Do you live at a relatively high elevation? I'm quite high up, and it's terrible.

No, not sure elevation but it's in Ohio so not high.

Just climbed two flights in my house (basement to second floor). Neither were detected. :-\

I'll check tomorrow when at work going up and down stairs and see if it is detected. I just added it to my widget.

I'm 5'4" and it will ONLY pick it up IF I raise my arm at the top of the steps. Weird!. Guess I'm just too short to matter.:-!

I'm 6'1" and it's still quite inaccurate. Don't think your height affects it.

My watches showed flights of stairs over my past weekend. Everywhere I went to include the Airbnb had stairs.
