The altimeter in my Suunto wristop computer keeps going off height – what can I do?
The altimeter in your Suunto wristop computer calculates the altitude by measuring changes in the air pressure. This means that the instrument interprets changes in air pressure as changes in altitude (if “alti” profile has been selected), although air pressure changes may also be caused by changes in the weather. This is why it is always advisable to reset the reference altitude or the sea level pressure before undertaking a new activity. As a basic rule, the altimeter will give you correct readings if the weather has not changed. Always remember to reset the reference altitude before recording with the wristop computer.
