Measuring Altitude
You can calculate the altitude of your current location using the pressure sensor built into the watch.

Important:
If the atmospheric pressure changes due to weather conditions or the temperature at the measurement location,
the measurement results and the actual altitude may differ.
Move to a location where you know the altitude, and then calibrate the altitude.
