J.Core is on a distinguished road
have I got a bad Core or is this to expect ?

Hi, before I get moving about:
1/
I set the sea level pressure reference around 1008 - 1010 hpa - the correct sea level pressure :

my core altitude shows 12-15 meters below compared to what it should be.
If I set my Core altitude to the correct altitude, core will show 2-3 hpa higher baro pressure. Is this ok ?

example: My correct altitude is 45 m above sea level and I set my core to it and the correct sea level pressure is 1009 but my suunto will show 1011-1012 hpa, is this ok ?
or I set the Core to 1009 hpa - correct sea level pressure but it shows that my current altitude is 24 m but actualy is 45m. Is this OK ???

2/ now even Worse accuracy
If the pressure goes down to 1005-6 hpa and I set my Core to it

My resulting altitude would be 30- 35 meters below what it should show.
If I set my Core to the correct altitude, the resulting baro pressure will show 4-5hpa higher figure than it should.

Is this still acceptable or should I send my core to get it serviced ?

My Core can track the altitude well when travelling but cant be trusted when it comes to relating the sea level pressure reference to the resulting altitude neither the correct altitude will show the correct pressure.

Is there some trick for fixing this problem similar to fixing the Core’s display contrast ??
Do I expect to much from it ?
Do I use it incorrectly ?
