To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes during measurement, keep the watch on your wrist in direct contact with your skin.

Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button operations while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, while riding a gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.

Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand professional or industrial level precision.

Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the altitude readings announced or indicated the flight crew.

How the Altimeter Measures Altitude

The altimeter can measure altitude based on its own preset values, or a reference altitude specified by you.

When you measure altitude based on preset values

Data produced by the watch’s barometric pressure sensor is converted to approximate altitude based on ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conversion values stored in watch memory.
