      Few days ago I bought a copper version of s9 Baro .

      Some strange things are happening with elevation profile during my runs on flat terrain .
      My start elevation is about 109 m. On my home route the altitude difference is max +/- 5 m.
      Unfortunately elevation profile from s9 Baro is different .

      So this happens always .
      After runs I figured out that he altitude graph is related to the temperature.
      I made a pause in a sunny place . Altitude is raising with temperature .

      So the next step was the fridge test .

      Before fridge test altimeter show 123 m

      After 30 min in fridge I got 60 m .

      When the temp was raising the altitude was raising too .

      60 m temperature -12
      71 m temperature -5
      113 m temperature 27

      It’s a new unit, bought in previous week. Barometer is broken ?

        search for the famous fridge test and perform it… the result will tell you if it’s DOA… it appears to be likely

          @TELE-HO I read about it . It seems it’s broken but its an old topic . Maybe something can be done via hard reset or … 🙂 I just can’t believe that the new unit is broken

            I don’t hope so either… but if this is the case, then Suunto has a top notch customer service and you will have it repaired or replaced within very short time.

                @Maryn last resort if you need it for your trip, leave it under water for few hours, maybe even the whole night.

                      Just to inform . Suunto repair service works very quickly.
                      The watch was repaired in 7 days (with transport both ways!). Well done Suunto!👍 💪
