Elevation Gain Problem With Series 4 Apple Watch
My new series 4 Apple Watch will not display any elevation gain in the Workout app. The display for outdoor cycling stays stuck on "0 FT ELEV" despite miles of pedaling up and down hills. The watch is paired to my iPhone X.
My wife also has a new series 4 Apple Watch paired to her iPhone 8 plus. Hers displays the correct elevation gain. I have unpaired both watches and re-paired them to the opposite iPhones - mine to her 8 plus and hers to my X. When I do that my watch works properly when paired to the 8 plus and her watch fails when paired to my X. In other words, both watches display the proper elevation gain when paired to the 8 plus and both watches fail to display this when paired to my iPhone X.
I have tried many things:
The OS is up to date on the phones and the watches.
The activity and health app data is correct.
I have unpaired and re-paired the watch a half-dozen times.
I have powered off and on the watch and phone.
I have taken the watch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store.
I have spoken to Apple telephone support. That is being referred to an "engineer".
I have installed a third party barometer app on the watch and the phone, and both display the correct altitude.
Any ideas ?
