      OK, i didn’t think you have bought a new watch 🙂
      So first advice : search the whole forum for “S9” “Baro” “Altitude”, there are numerous posts with all possible causes of this kind of “issue” : from just wind into holes, to faulty units, or just baro holes interferences with clothes, wrist mouvements, sweat, rain, etc…
      Give us more information about the way you wear your watch, the weather, which wrist, etc…
      Do you use Suunto+Climb ?
      Etc…

        How was the weather ? If weather was changing fast it can make trouble becausd baro fall down.
        It’s a supposition.

        Do you have STRAVA ? i’ve se you can apply there “altitude référence” and it correct mistakes automatically

          why opening a new message for the same issue ?

          when you press the button for the elevator you push many times as it will arrive faster 😉

                The weather was sunny without any changes
                I wear the watch on my right arm
                I was running with Tshirt for heat rather as I always do it

                  and you were sweating after 15km and for better HR readings you pulled the strap tight and with your wrist motion you started pumping on the baro holes… this is the reason in many cases as I observe

                    Most of the people having this issue recently had problems with accumulating rain/snow [1], but sweat could be an issue. In your case, something definitely happened close to the end when the watch starts registering all those spikes.

                        @isazi there is a disturbance in the force

                        Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

                          @tfm1973 I also add that wearing on right wrist you have the baro hole in the direction of the run (left side of the swatch), thus if you start sweating is easy that he flows in the hole…
