Barometric altimeter holes

Cleaning the watch thoroughly, I realized that in addition to the hole on the bottom of the watch, there are 2 other ones close to the strap, did you know? Are they used to average the measured values or are they 2 different sensors?

Th lowest single hole is not actually a hole. it's to provide access to lever of the back of the case.

The two side-by-side are the barometer ports

Still part of the Barometer-/Temperature-Sensor afaik. I might be wrong. But on the Fenix 6 there are also 3 holes where the Barometer-Sensor is. Also, if I remember properly, all watches with Barometer I had, had more than one hole.

Interesting, thx. On the FR945, when shining a penlight through the two smaller holes, I can see the light through the bigger hole. After I read your comment I tried with the fenix and it didn't work, so you're absolutely right.
