      As an additional note, the baro sensors in our watches cannot be compared to a precision one used in most professional weather station, so there can be some discrepancies.

      If you search the forum there is an old topic about pressure,sensors and precision

        @sartoric The height is the same. The pressure is different.
        Which clock shows correctly?1.jpg 2.jpg

          that’s impossible to tell IMHO… what’s strange is that baro graph isn’t the same. did both watches stay together the past 12 hours?

            @freeheeler said in Altitude and barometer issues.:

            And both should be in the same conditions, clean, not covered etc.

                @ist-1973 On the clock scale, the division price is different. 2 hPa, and 4 hPa

                  @ist-1973 The conditions are the same. Together on a closet shelf.

                    strange… maybe you need to clean the sensor (soak it in water) and observe again

                      Today I went for a run with my wife along the same route. Here is the data.
                      Difference in watch pressure 9 hPa![1659269024817.jpg]

                        looks alright 👍
                        I assume you can ignore the pressure difference as everything else looks good 🙂

                          @freeheeler thank you. I think this is where I was going wrong although I’m assuming absolute pressure is at sea level, which is where I was for the week. Now I am back at home it makes more sense for the readings to be out by 8-9 hPa given my altitude.
