Error Altimeter FR945

is the secon time that happens that the althimeter calibrate bad auyomatically. I don’t understant what happens and why don’t calibrate auto how it’s selected in the watch.

Do you know what can be hapenning? Is it better unselect autocalibrate?

hey - most probably this is the first report of an 945 altimeter failure (as far as i know :D ); you could give the watch a warm batha nd wash it with a mild soap, but most probably it's defect and will be replaced by garmin

Same error here too.

Usually this problem occours with pool treated with havy chemistry

Mild soap and warm water does not resolve...

Now I'm buy Garmin Swim 2 only for swim, and FR945 to run and other sports

Not sure that's true. I've been a pretty heavy user of Garmin watches in pools for many years. I've yet to have issues with the altimeter. I think there are a number of people hypothesising that the altimeter issue is related to pool chemicals but that hypothesis is far from proven. If the problem does not resolve after cleaning AOM, and anyone else with this problem, should contact Garmin Support.
