Apple Watch Ultra Elevation Way Wrong

My Ultra is so off. Our house is at -4 feet in reality, but my Ultra is saying -85 feet. Anywhere I go, it's so wrong. The compass app on the phone works great, but the Ultra's ability to accurately measure elevation in nonexistent at this point.

Apple - Are you going to fix this issue? We bought $800 adventure watches; accurate elevation was obviously expected.

Has anyone been able to get Apple to respond with an effective solution?

Elevation is *WILDLY* wrong in watchOS 10 On both new watches and old—and I’ve checked this on about a dozen watches at this point—the elevation measured and displayed in the compass app and elevation complications is wildly inaccurate. And I don’t mean it’s off within the margin of error, I mean it’s off by hundreds of feet in some cases. Also, it’s not predictably off, it’s different on each and every watch! I had two Ultras sitting next to each other last night. One claimed the elevation was about 200 feet above sea level. Three inches away the other watch claimed 100 feet below sea level. Partially I’m curious if others have been experiencing this. I’m also hoping Apple will acknowledge and fix it. Quickly.

Apple Watch Series 9 showing incorrect elevation and floors climbed “My Apple Watch Series 9’s compass is not working, elevation fluctuates wildly (sometimes by thousands of meters), and cardio fitness sometimes records and sometimes doesn’t. Even though I run 7 km and don’t climb a single floor, it still shows 40 or 50 floors climbed.” [Re-Titled by Moderator]
