When I climb stairs (actual stairs or stair master machines), the watch does not seem to record the steps. I have to set the activity to climbing, but even then it does not count steps accurately - I climbed over 2000 steps and it counted as only 42 steps. Missing something?
how long does it take the watch to learn an activity the it can auto-detect and record it?

I do a LOT of stairwalking and track it on my watch as "elliptical".
That seems to work perfectly.
In answer to your second question, I believe that it takes 3 attempts before automatic recognition and the exercise must be for 5 minutes. Don't quote me on that though.

I've got into the habit of explicitly telling it I'm walking, that way I get proper tracking, of time, distance and HR

A variation... I use the stairclimber daily at 900-1100 floors. My Apple Watch and Fitness apps record the activity and calories reasonably well. Health Mate records the activity as climbing. A bit of annoyance is that Health Mate keeps telling me I’m not making my step goal. It just doesn’t count steps from the stair climber which alone far exceed my daily step goal.
