Altimeter issues

Despite the multiple calibrations, when i’m not during activity, altimeter freezes on the last data recorded. If i calibrate again, it shows the correct data, but if i move somewhere higher or lower, the number doesn’t change. Ring a bell to anyone? Thanks.

Also my pulse ox is far from accurate. It shows Sp02 at 89-94% when the normal conditions of the human body is 97% higher

If you have your Barometer Watch Mode set to Barometer, you will see the Altimeter fixed. Try switching Barometer Watch Mode to either Auto (my recommendation) or Altimeter:

MENU>Sensors & Accessories>Barometer>Watch Mode>[Select Auto or Altimeter

About SpO2 measurements: "Healthy individuals at sea level usually exhibit oxygen saturation values between 96% and 99%, and should be above 94%. At 1,600 meters' altitude (about one mile high) oxygen saturation should be above 92%.^[10]" (Wikipedia)

Yeah man i know that.. my pulseox keeps giving me results like 89-94%. I’m perfectly healthy and i live at 800m high, i know it is not a medical device, but it should at least give a more accurate result

Are you talking about the altimeter/ABC widget, or the altitude that is displayed on your watchface?

The widgets should update in real-time, but the altitude on watchfaces usually updates a lot less often.
