S9 baro ascent problems solved

[Vrba007]

Hi guys.
There has been many questions on this topic and here is my solution.
I had this problem over a year but I think I finally solved the puzzle.
Anyway, for a long period of time when I was doing my hikes the watch would often had unusual spikes in my ascent profile resulting sometimes even double ascent measured than it should be. I’ve tried everything and nothing helped…
Then once I did this the morning just before hike:

1. Left it in warm water for 30 minues to clean the dirt from sensor.
2. Did a watch restart (maybe most important)
3. Calibrated compass
4. Set altitude manually
5. Just before START paired it with mobile phone and waited for it to get good gps signal

Result…
Very clean ascent profile without spikes.

Now I don’t have any problems for at least 6 months…

Hope this helps.

@Mff73 @sartoric don’t forget to wash your watches!

@isazi
i must admit that with SV, baro holes might be quite difficult to obfuscate. “Big” holeS, putting some water in one hole and it is flowing by the other. Easier to rince than baby nose
And if it is still required, we ( @sartoric i hope you will agree) are still ready to advise a “fridge test”

Fridge, not freezer
