Vivoactive 3 Altimeter stopped working

My Vivoactive 3 altimeter hasn't worked since the end of July. It worked fine one day, and did nothing the next. I've tried making sure the hole is clear, I restarted the watch, and tried recalibrating through the compass. I also tried starting a GPS activity and waiting 30 seconds before pushing the start button. It's a good 2.5 years old, so I'm guessing it's on its last leg but I'm willing to attempt any suggestions.

  • My altimeter has never been much good. It logs major elevation changes on flat runs (in the hundreds or thousands of meters). I didn’t know about the test function. 20000m base altitude???. I guess it’s broken. It would be nice to be able to disable it. I’d rather have no altitude data than wrong data. Strava will auto correct now to gps altitude (started about a month ago for me).
