Unhappy X-Lander defect? Altimeter changes within seconds

Hello
(Sorry for my bad english)

I have problems with my 1-year old X-Lander.
The altimeter changes every seconds, in extreme cases from -3000m up to 10.000m !
If the watch is on table without movement the malfunctie is not so bad.
On Youtube I have a short video (30 s)
YouTube - Suunto - altimeter broken?.

Unfortunatly I canīt find the bill...

Has anyone the same problem?

I just noticed the same behaviour of my Suunto Vector. The altitude jumped extremely between to +10.000m and -3.000m with a vertical speed of about (+/-)150 - 300 m/s as in the video above.
In addition the temperature was around -60°C according to the watch (of course it wasn't)
Now I removed the battery for a while and upon insert it started again. Then I reinserted it twice and now it seems to work again. But no idea how long it lasts...

my vector has been doing the same thing and the barometer is getting real high. i replaced the battery and it was working fine until the watch got pretty hot on my wrist about 90 degrees F, it started going crazy again. thats when it seems to happen to my vector, when temps exceed mid to high 80s F
