Fenix 5: navigating to a destination (elevation chart problem)

I have a fenix 5 for about 1 year and it is mostly working fine. They other day I was playing with it and
using the navigation to a destination feature and in particular I was looking at the elevation chart.
When I start, all is working as expected; the elevation of my final destination is at 680m (first picture)
Then I start to go up and I see that the elevation of my destination is also rising gradually from 680m to 807m and
then finally, close to the arrival to 926m (picture 2 and 3).
It makes absolutely no sense that the elevation of my destination is rising so that I am basically never reaching it.

When saving the activity, the elevation is absolutely correct so the altimeter seems to be working correctly.
I have also been doing a factory reset of the watch and deleted all external widget/watchfaces/app that could
create an error. Am I doing something wrong in the setting of the watch or is there a bug?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I have reached the support center both in Switzerland and in the US and nobody seems to be able to help. I have actually received an other brand new Fenix 5 but the problem still remains.
The support center in the US said that their watch doesn't behave as mine. This is, in my opinion, highly suspicious and I would really love to have someone else testing this feature.
Can someone please use save a location and then try to use "navigation to a destination" -> "elevation chart" and have a look if the elevation of the saved location is drifting when you get closer to the location?
This would be highly appreciated and would help mw to figure out if I have two watches that are not working or if all the Fenix 5 are note working properly with this feature.
Thanks

Simon
