      Thanks @smartsp @suzzlo. I have actually gone ahead and got the s9 baro. Cracking watch and loving it so far.
      I’m not very confident in the storm alarm though 🤣.
      We’ve just had the mother of all thunderstorms and torrential rain and not a single alert from the watch.

        @gazaman77 the storm alert works, but in my experience is good with storms coming when low pressure sets, not just with rain. If a barometer could predict rain on its own, we would not need to spend millions on forecasts 🙂

          It usually works with sudden storm. If you can see it coming, the alarm doesn’t alarm you 😁

              There is not a huge drop in pressure, so the watch doesn’t trigger the alarm

                Maybe I’m reading this incorrectly but from my watch reading, the pressure has only risen within the last 4 or so hours!..no drop at all?!?

                  @gazaman77 said in Time for an upgrade:

                  as only risen within the last 4

                  maybe the las 1,5 / 2 hours … anyway, no drop, so no alarm. 😁

                  Did you record an activity or used the gps ? that could be due to a fix to the altitude

                      No I wasn’t doing an activity or anything. My watch was in the house. Is that the issue…does it need to be outside? I understand the whole point of it is to alert you if your out and about but I assumed it would still work indoors like my old ambit.

                        @gazaman77 mine also worked indoor in the past, but for big storms, i.e. those that get names.
