Altitude wrong

Suddenly the altitude shows weird figures... 9600 meters or somethings like that.

I tried to calibrate (its the same using gps or manually) but it seems to be useless.... inmediately continie showing 9600 9560 or similar.

Dem is not available here.

Is it a kmown issue?

It remembers me the 920xt barometer failure.

Thanks

Check whether your barometer holes are blocked, you will have to remove the bottom strap to check. Would suggest flushing with water, I used a syringe to do it, and it fixed my issue.

I started checking after other people on here mentioned issues with altitude being recorded, and my runs now showing hugely inaccurate altitude data.

I’ve had my 945 2 years now, and never had an issue until updating to 8.09 beta firmware.

I started checking too after other people noticed some issues. And obviously there is one with my FR945 as well. My baro/altimeter holes are clean and open.
Problems started after updating to 8.09

I too am having strange issues with altitude.

My runs are set to calibrate altitude during activity. It started off around 700ft too high after calibration. It started to correct about 10 minutes into my run. The watch barometer has always been sensitive to temperature swings, but this seems more pronounced since it was an offset error and temperature change error.
