Question Vector Altimeter

All of a sudden my watch is showing wildly varying altitudes - I just changed the bat. and it still varies between -22000ft to as much as +15000 ft. My actual alt. is 4780 Ft. If I leave it off my wrist for a while, it will settle down, and then goes wrong when I put it back on. Any suggestions??
Cheers
Pat

Altimeter craziness

Angry Altimeter

I don't think it's calibration ( I did BTW), it shows wide variations in altitude (-21000' to +24000'), and the baro makes no sense, and won't hols a SEA setting.
