S9PP Elevation changing when sitting still
-
@maszop I also live in a place with dramatic pressure and weather changes situated between mountains at 4000-4300m within 25km and plains to the east at an altitude of 1600m. We have dramatic and rapid weather changes (with obvious changes in pressure and high winds). I do not expect my altitude to be “perfect” and there is a 200m elevation change between work and home. My watches (includes 9PP, Vertical, Race and Race S) are typically very close (within 25m or so) to the correct altitude. When exercising outdoors FusedAlti works and altitudes are spot on. If way off I perform an auto adjust as described in the manual. I do not manually adjust as my altitude and that of the sensors at airports differ due to location and micro climate differences.

@Brad_Olwin It works ok, if there is some activity, then the FusedAlti automation corrects it.
However, when there is no activity for a few days, another automation (responsible for selecting the barometer/altimeter work) fails.
These are two different tools. -
@Oxhill_Runner
I am having the same issue.
I just sent my watch back to the Suunto repair center.see this other thread

My elevation data looks very similar to your watch, and I haven’t left the house all day. -65m now…
I’ll start using Fused Alti more but it takes 10-15 mins, needs to be outside and uses a lot of battery to do so
I’ll look for some articles on cleaning the sensor too

@Oxhill_Runner
Maybe search also for the “fridge test”
Baro sensor is correlating absolute
pressure and internal temperature to display altitude. A “quick” temperature change must not change the altitude (assuming pressure is not changing during this quick test). -

@Oxhill_Runner same behaviour as mine. Contact the support and they will ask you to send it back for repair.
How old is your watch ? -
@Oxhill_Runner That is likely a hardware issue.
-
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I’ll contact Support and see about getting it fixed. I bought the watch in October 2022 -
@Oxhill_Runner mine is from Nov. 2022.
