Question Barometer

Why is the current barometer ( third line on weather) not equal to the barometer reading from the weather man on the news? Does the second line ever change?

Cool

I beleive that the bottom line is absolute air pressure, it should approximate "the weathermans" air pressure only if you are at sea level. If your middle line is not changing, your watch is probably set to "use alti". If you wish the watch to function as a barometer, you must set the "use baro" function. It's all in the owners manual.
