Apple Watch 5 new onset elevation gain problem

i have an AW 5 which has worked perfectly, but now shows wildly inaccurate elevation gain. Yesterday we hiking a relatively flat 3 mile loop, and the watch recorded a 47,000 foot elevation gain! All the other data was correct. I’ve never had this problem before. Is this a bug in the latest update iOS 8.4.2.?

thanks, but I’ve done all the obvious things: restarted the watch, made sure everything was set properly. The only difference were two software updates. Again, this is a completely new problem and quite annoying as we hike the white mountains in NH and keep track of elevation gain.
