Time for an upgrade

@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
-
The thunder storm was about an hour and a half/2 hours ago

@gazaman77
There is not a huge drop in pressure, so the watch doesn’t trigger the alarm

@sartoric
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
-
@sartoric
or inside a climate controlled building? -
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.
