Flight climbed

I have an apple watch 5 which counts unexpected number of flights climbed. usually more than100 flights! these occur when I make very small steps, washing hand, .....etc . This of course a mistake. Is there a solution?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

You should also make sure your watch is calibrated:
