Bad Elevation Data

I am getting angry ???????? with the constant craziness in Elevation Data.
I run in flat park by the sea and it gets me several meters underwater and several meters flying!!!
PLEASE GARMIN LET US DISABLE ABC ALTOGETHER

then I fly over the trees...
As I run in a perfectly level surface by the sea...

Nope, I just gave up rather than let them replace the watch a second time!

From my observations, the problem is not the barometric readings as when I look at a spot elevation at a known altitude such as the top of a mountain the value is near perfect. I believe the problem is the algorithm that works out total climb.

Same here, the barometric reading is mostly fine for me. I use smart recording as every second recording make thinks worse.My problem is that the barometric reading stop working during activity (not always though), but if I press stop/start it start working again. This means it's most likely a software issue.

Why can they not rectify with an upgrade??

No! I turned on the Elevation Correction option in GC so it ignored the data recorded from the watch. Don't have a 645 anymore now.
