Health & Wellness vivoactive 4 Series Altimeter/Barometer Related This discussion has been locked. You can no longer post new replies to this discussion. If you have a question you can start a new discussion Altimeter/Barometer Efde over 5 years ago

Even though the specs say there is an barometer/thermometer/compass i cannot find the widgets for these and only the compass even has a sensors settings page. Am i missing something here?

It also seems the widgets on this watch are completely different from the ones on the Fenix series with a lot less data on them. Does Garmin Connect also show you less data when connected with a vivoactive series in comparison to a fenix watch?

  If the va4 doesn't have an ABC widget, I got one that should work on the va4 for example (myABC) It does on the va3.

  Altitude is very bad messured by this model. It begins an activity with a random number from -10 to 65 meters high and continúes till the end showing very lite oscilations on it. Not ever shows real values. I tested a lot of times on about 10 meters high and that is the results.

  So the altitude issues are not solved on the VA4?

  Did you wait for 30sec between selecting&starting an activity for auto-calibration?

  Yes, more than ten minutes sometimes before starting the activity selected, and no changes in altitude is taken while you are waiting.

  This is me, watching tv... Is this thing broken? Maybe because the weather here is changing a lot?
