Barometer fixed value / Altimeter not calibrating

Hi, has anyone had problems with their barometers? Mine has had no variations and the weather has been pretty unstable which makes me wonder if something is wrong. I tried calibraing the altimeter and it fails with both gps and manual configuration. I've had the watch for a few days only. I tried installing the latest beta (3.22) and it didn't change anything

    Talked to Garmin and they are replacing my watch, great customer service.

    edit:
    I entered the service menu and the baro test shows as invalid. Faulty sensor

    My barometer stopped working sometime in the last few days as well. Calibration fails.

    Well like the previous poster, I talked to Garmin, and they deduced the barometric sensor was broken. They are doing a RMA for me. They provided a return shipping label and will send a replacement Fenix 5 (hopefully with a working barometric sensor).

    A bit of a drag since I had it only a month before it failed. Hopefully the new one doesn't fail.
