Reading Absolute Barameter Press.

When reading the absolute barometric pressure (lower set on numbers) on my Observer (in "Baro" Mode), there's about 1.0 inhg difference than what I read on my wall-mounted barometer - please note that the wall-mounted barameter is consistent with local weather reports.

How do I correct (increase) the absolute barometric pressure reading to more accurately reflect local conditions?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

possible solution
double check that the altitude you have set as a reference (which is what the watch measures from) is correct
if not it may be the cause of the difference you are seeing
hope that helps
