Altitude and barometer issues.
-
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? -
@ist-1973
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.:
did both watches stay together the past 12 hours?
And both should be in the same conditions, clean, not covered etc.
-
@sartoric Yes. Together.
-
@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.
-
@ist-1973
strange… maybe you need to clean the sensor (soak it in water) and observe again -
@freeheeler
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]

@ist-1973
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.
