Another Garmin Barometer Story
Yesterday, while biking home from swimming, I gained 81,600'. This morning, on the first mile of my run, another 5000', then nothing after that. My Fenix 2 is celebrating its first birthday this week, with nearly 600 flawless event records since May 11, 2014.
But the altimeter reads +65616, and I can not recalibrate it. I called Garmin, a nice young lady answered within 3 rings. Ten minutes later, I was all signed up to receive a replacement watch next week. That's the good news. The bad? This is a problem which others on this forum and elsewhere have been experiencing with Garmin products. Here's hoping my next watch lasts longer, as I am using it for ALL training and outdoor activities. It's literally the only watch I wear, after years/ decades of a gizmo for every activity.
It will go out in a blaze of glory, as my back up PM, and data collecter for the Tour of California starting tomorrow.

Al, I'm on my seventh or eighth 910xt all with the same issue as yours! They have always been excellent about sending me a new one no charge but always the same problem usually a few months later. I think at this point when this one goes I'll just live without the altitude. Good luck with your new one!
Thanks Jimmy! Will try it next time.
