Tactix 7 Altimeter Concern

I have a new Tactix 7 and the altimeter problem. The installation was standard with FW update to 7.64. The altimeter always drops about 70 m lower in a few minutes after calibration (manual, GPS, DEM). The altimeter setting is standard. Any recommendations?

I already was sent a replacement from Garmin support and it was bad too. So apparently according to you after a manual calibration it's my fault the watch jumps 300-400 feet within minutes as I'm sitting…

No I am not confused. After the barometer is adjusted based off calibration it is clearly making acute pressure adjustments.

I'm at work sitting on the spot manual calibration and I'll jump 100 meters laughing. I always set my altitude manually and it will come back within 10 minutes
