I just bought a new
X6HR and I am quite impressed with it for the most part. (I haven't had a chance to really test it yet - only in my power line saturated neighborhood, and a monitor saturated office).
As I understand it having the watch in Alti mode locks in the elevation and claims all atmospheric pressure changes to weather patterns. Likewise, having the watch in Baro locks in the pressure and claims all pressure changes to elevation.
Here's my Problem: I initially set the elevation to 1157 m (Calgary Alberta Canada-metric system) and checked the pressure reading (which read at 1019 hPA). After checking the local weather station I found the pressure should be 1016 hPA. So I went to change it. After I did, the elevation then read 1125ish. If I recalibrate the reference elevation to 1157 (where I actually am) it sets the pressure back to 1019 hPA.
My question: Should I not be able to set both values independently of each other as to assess the true values of pressure and elevation?
This happens in both Baro and Alti use modes. (and as a side note, my pressure graph which displays on the bottom of the weather display moves quite a bit-even though the registered pressure stays at 1019 hPA and the relative pressure (a different third row option) continually reads887 hPa.
Hope you can help clarify things.... the manual was a bit loose on this issue. Should I call tech help?
