      @Egika Yes, the example is poorly chosen, the output is only 30 minutes.
      But it is even more obvious on a long outing, where the normal altitude difference is around 700 m and the watch displays 1200 m.
      And as soon as I stop, the altimeter goes back and forth.
      You see it’s the alti measure during a break. All these variations are recorded in positive and negative gain.

      And it is even more visible on the altimeter curve. As soon as I’m at low speed or stopped, everything changes.

      And to compare, that’s a curve before update 2.30.38

      No altitude variation during breaks, precise elevation change

        @Clément-Lavabre I am not aware of any firmware related change with the December update, that would affect sensor data or the data interpretation in the watch.

        can you rule out any other effect, like position of watch above/under clothes, dirt, etc. that usually affect the altitude measurement?

        Cheers

          @Egika I’ve tried everything, with the sleeve on, without anything on, hanging on the bag strap, it doesn’t change anything, the results are bad.
          I also tried soft-reset and hard-reset but it didn’t change anything.
          Support does not provide any news by email.

          On a daily basis I use the Race, but when active I have to take out my old 9 baro, it’s annoying.

          Either it’s really a bug, or one of the sensors died at the same time as the update.

            @Clément-Lavabre This may be a sensor problem. Here is the output from my Vertical on my last SkiMo. The flat altitude is time during transition. I have no wobble.

              @Brad_Olwin This is exactly what I had before. I’m hesitating between waiting for a new update (is one planned?) or sending it for repair.

                @Clément-Lavabre contact support, I doubt is the firmware considering that other people with the same firmware do not have the issue.
