I have mentioned this before and will ask: Why not or when can we expect an update of the Alti-Barometer?

My previous message:

It seems that the accuracy of the pressure sensor is the issue. Mine shows approx. 5 hPa above correct value.

I live near a reference for sea level pressure (airport at sea level), at an altitude of 14 m but the altitude shown is -22 m. (pressure values; at my altitude 977.2 hPa, at sea level 979.0, and watch shows 981 hPa)
This gives false altitude when using 'automatic' calibration to sea level pressure (as obtained from the internet based on your location).

The 'missing' accuracy which seems to be of a constant value as the precision seems ok. (i.e. the readings follow the correct value but with an offset) leads to this:
A way to enter a fixed offset could be a fix.
