Altimeter question

Former Member over 4 years ago

What is the best setting to have on my Fenix 6 Pro that when I look at my watch face that shows the Altimeter it shows my current elevation

as I move and stays at that level when I don't move ( such as sitting on the sofa at home)? I basically look at my apple watch series 5 and it's

capable of doing that. So any inputs will be appreciated It...

Thanks

Please clarify your question, i have no idea what you are asking

Altitude on the factory watchfaces only updates once per minute, as a way to conserve battery life.

Apple watch can do it in real-time because Apple couldn't care less about it affecting their already-terrible battery life.

There's no setting you can change to make that any different, but you can use the Altimeter or ABC widgets to view real-time altitude, or you maybe can use a 3rd-party ConnectIQ watchface that does it (but it will consume more battery). And of course, during activities it will also always display real-time elevation.

Your question doesn't make sense.

What are you trying to achieve

And why the heck would one care to have an altitude that updates more than once a minute on the watch face really.
