Altimeter is calibrated when using treadmill

Former Member over 6 years ago

I am experiencing calibration of the altimeter when using treadmill. The watch uses last known calibration, even if I am several kilometers away from the place where the watch was calibrated.. this means that the GPS is not activated. So why do the calibration happen? If the watch is set to manual calibration of the altimeter, this do not happen...

anyone else who has had some issues?

running fw. 11.00, same issues where also on the latest betas, pre fw 11.00.

best regard:-)

yes restarting works. but most of the time, only for the next activity. then you would have to restart the watch again.

I have tried to disconnect watch from the watch before I start an activity. The altimeter still calibrates to last calibration. What seems to "fix" this, is rebooting the watch before using treadmill. Hope this small but annoying bug gets fixed. Btw. My fenix 3hr do not behave like this.

Ok. So my hypothesis failed.

Does somebody has a better workaround for me then restarting the watch? it is somtimes annoying when standing for example on around 800 meters of elevation. going into an activity. Baro-alti shows 792 meters, GPS-Alti shows 812 meters, thinking good to go! Hit the start button and the Watch jumps on 621 meters of elevation. because i calibratet it a day ago somewhere else on this altitude.
