x6m altimeter problem

Please, excuse me for my bad english!
I write from Italy.
Last May, I buyed a Suunto x6m.
I used it as an altimeter during my july's vacations on the Alps.
Sometimes, not every time, standing in the same place, the watch shows really different altitudes during approximately a minute or so.
Example.
My altitude is 2300 mt.
In a few seconds the x6m altimeter shows a sequence as: 3200 mt - 1900 mt. - 2900 mt- 3300 mt. - 1500 mt.... Only after a minute or so, he stops on the (correct) altitude.
It seems like the altimeter was totally "lost", and that only after a seek he found the correct altidude.
Is this normal?
Note that everyday, at the start of my excursions i setup the watch to a reference altidude taken from a map.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
