0ft Elevation Gain

This problem has been periodic recently for trail runs and recovery road runs. I've not changed anything for these activity types with the way it tracks gain. Many times my watch will just fail to register any elevation gain during the activity, but it will track the gain toward the number of floors gained per day. This is increasingly frustrating.

Is there any fixes in the works for this problem? Below is a snip of the elevation graph from connect and also the elevation graph from strava. The total gain was approx 5,000ft that was ignored.

  • I have the same issue with cycling, I don't know what is the reason that sometimes it works, or sometimes it doesn't.

  • I have the same problem for a long time. I don't like it anymore. In a week, I had to hard reset the watch twice during activity. This results in Watts being wasted and I have to delete Stryd activity.

    I don't enjoy it. Such an expensive watch and it has such a flaw. I will buy COROS.

  • Have same issue in FR955 Solar with 20.32.

  • Same issue. I think it is getting more and more frequent.

    What does not work:

    - Disable auto calibration for altimeter.

    - Open an activity (but dont start) then cancel and start it again

    What I think works:

    - Start an activity then stop and discard it and start it again

  • Me too. I found this problem in some other post and I understood that it's a firmware problem that happend not every time. I read in some posts that I must disable auto calibration for altimeter, but change only that I have not zero meter of difference in my track: profile is always false and without sense. I try to change mode to find altitude, only with barometer or only with GPS: with first I had 0 meter of difference and with second I have quote profile but not right for nothing, without any sense. So what wait Garmin to solve it? I'm lucky only that in thos period I'm not interesting about trail training, only street, but move it!
