Hi, my Series 6 watch has for the past 1 week been showing completely wrong altitude. It shows around 2200 meters while the actual altitude is 175 meters. I have tried everything I could think of, checked all location services settings, taken long walks, reset calibration data, restarted the watch/phone etc. Are there more remedies to try?

Greetings Al_Bundy,
We understand that you are having some difficulty with the altimeter readings on your Apple Watch, and we'd like to help. Begin by removing the band from your Apple Watch, and see if the issue remains. If it does, Contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Take care.
Thanks, I removed the band and even tried to see if the hole for sensor was clogged, but there is no change. It has since then gained another 300 meters and is showing the altitude to be 2500 meters (+/- 20m) while I am still at the same place at 175 meters. A manual way of calibrating the barometer had been appreciated, like all other watches with barometer has.
Suggest it here;
