How to display altitude on the watchface

I see some ConnectIQ watchfaces can display the altitude. I wanted to try this but couldn't find a way yet. They result in errors or permisson problems. How I can get the altitude displayed on the watchface? How I should call it with what methods or what reading I should get and calculate etc?
Any help appreciated.
