Fenix 5 - baro/alti crazy reading

old problem on new watch ?
got this new unit last friday, thats are some pics of the alti/baro sensor crazy reading, same thing happened to many f3 units. Calibration will work for less than 2 minutes, than the pressure reading start raising or fall down. Someone else with the same problem ?

Just send it to Garmin, don't bother no more. Faulty sensors and they replaced my 5s, no questions asked, of course...

I'm on my 2nd Fenix 5 in 5 weeks and both have had the altimeter die quickly (3 wks and 1 wk) after opening up the box. Who's to say that if you send it to Garmin it won't have the same poor sensor put back in it? I'm waiting for the 5plus to get in stock and just upgrade to that - the Fenix 5 pressure sensor lottery is just not worth it.

Hi!
on downhill ski app, why I finished 100m below sea level? I think all worked fine on v9, by accident I dis fw upgrade, now I did upgrade to 12.30, does it fix it?
i use to have same issue with MTB, when start is same point as finish but F5 makes it below sea level, already got tired from thix bug, such price watch should not make user to think about this!!!
