How to get the Ambient pressure

Ambient pressure cannot be got directly in the watch face, So I need to know the algorithm for calculating sea level pressure by elevation and ambient pressure. So I can get the elevation and sea-level pressure and then calculate the ambient pressure.

Exactly. The sim doesn't have data for the ambient pressure. It works on a real watch that has this info.

You can get it with Activity.getActivityInfo.ambientPressure in a watch face.

I have tried but it returned "null". This may not work if there are no activity actives.

Did yiou try it on a watch with a baro sensor?

Of course, I tried vivoactive Hr,fenix5,fenix6 in the simulator, all returned "null".

It's working fine for me on the watches I have at hand - (645M and 945)

Did you only try it on the sim for the watches you mentioned or did you try the actual devices?

Maybe it works well on the device but not work in the simulator?
