The elevation display on my Apple watch 6 just displays 3 dots. I have location services activated, have tried to hard reset it multiple times, recalibrating it and also unpaired it but to no avail. Second party altimeters show the current altitude but not Apple’s compass. Any other suggestions?
Hello GeosarGR,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. You've completed some great troubleshooting steps so far. To ensure that we're covering all of our bases, be sure that your Apple Watch is running the latest software version. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, select My Watch > General > Software Update. If an update is available, tap Download and Install. Also, be mindful of the following details:
Make sure that your Apple Watch is compatible with the latest software: watchOS 8 is compatible with Apple Watch Series 3 and later and Apple Watch SE. Upgrading to watchOS 8 requires iPhone 6s or later running iOS 15 or later. Find your Apple Watch model.
Next, check these things:
1. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure that your Apple Watch is at least 50 percent charged.
3. Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi.
4. Keep your iPhone next to your Apple Watch, so that they're in range.
It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete. You might want to update overnight or wait until you have time.

Even after updating to IOS 16 on my phone and os 9 on the watch of still hasn’t been fixed. I am currently talking to apple service and have tried everything they suggested. Even the diagnostic test was fine. Quite disappointing. Today I sent them a video of what exactly happens and a screenshot of the compass. Let’s see what they come up with.
Just tried that to test it out. I used the my altitude watch and disconnected it from my phone and wifi. It shows everything however it does not record it on the fitness app. So basically I lose the statistics.

Thank you for your reply Grace2211. Both my Iphone 12 and my Apple watch 6 are running on the latest OS. There are no updates to install. So the problem stands as is.

The same thing happens to me, tried everything you did. Workout and compass don't show Elevation, while other height measurement apps do Altimetar/Barometar.
The same with me.
If I take my iphone 8 with me, the Elevation gain data is displayed, if I don't take iphone 8, there is no Elevation gain data either.
I aways have the phone with me and this is the result.
Current elevation is not being displayed
