I saw a lot of complains about altimeter.
In my case I think is related to the regular pool swimming activities:
- Software version 20.60 (may 2022) was the last version with Temperature info during pool swimming activities. Reason: "The intention is to improve reliability of your temperature sensor along with other sensors" see details here.
- Since September 2022 I started to experienced strange behavior of altimeter: indicating completely out of range values but still sensing the differences of elevation - still indicating correct nr of floors
- Since last November my altimeter starting to indicate crazy values ex: changing from +10000 to -300 in a minute! No more floors counting. The behavior is similar with this one.
- I tried to calibrate all methods: manual, gps or dem. It behaves like is not recording the new value obtained by calibration.
- I swim weekly 5-6times/week about 2000m/activity.
I trend to think that my altimeter/barometer sensor is broken and the cause is related to this systematic exposure to pool water. Garmin please give as some more info&recomandation? Shell we announce the competitors that Garmin Fenix 6 series sensors (altimeter) was not designed to resist to systematic pool swimming activities?
