Tive em duvidas entre criar um tópico sobre o Garmin Fenix 3 HR ou colocar essa informação aqui. Se o moderador achar melhor criar um novo topico não tenho problemas nisso. Mas como aqui, tudo se fala desde que tenha a ver com ciclismo e eu uso esse smart watch para o ciclismo resolvi colocar por aqui. Tenho tido um problema com o fenix 3 HR por causa da altitude. Pois nunca mas nunca está certo. Eu sei que é uma altitude barometrica segundo eles dizem, mas estar a beira-mar a -90 só se for um submarino e no meio de uma serra a 3000 metros de altura em Portugal é bem complicado. Parece que isto é um problema recorrente vi uma serie de foruns em inglês com varias pessoas a reclamar do mesmo. Fiz uma reclamação para a garmin e esta foi a resposta fantástica que me deram:
Troubleshooting fenix 3/3HR Altimeter and Barometer issues
There are a handful of situations and circumstances in which the altimeter or barometer readings on outdoor wearables like the fenix 3 HR may not be entirely accurate due to inherent limitations.
How the Altimeter/Barometer works on the fenix 3 line:
These devices calculate altitude by comparing the difference in sea level and ambient pressures.
Taking advantage of the fact that weather pressure changes occur at a slower rate than a person going up or down a hill, the unit will automatically transition between two modes; Altimeter or Barometer.
As an example, if a watch is on your wrist and on the same floor of a building, the watch will remain in Barometer mode, pressure will change slowly and will be reflected in a moving barometer value, but the watch will keep the elevation value locked. If you then go up or down a set of stairs, the pressure will change enough to cause the watch to switch to Altimeter mode. Accordingly, the watch will lock the barometer value and you will see changes in elevation values.
- Altimeter mode locks the barometer value and assumes all pressure changes are due to elevation change.
- Barometer mode locks the altimeter value and assumes all pressure changes are due to weather.
Factors that impact incorrect barometric altimeter measurements:
- Rapid changes in weather
- The unit will resume accurate altimeter readings when weather conditions settle
- If you experience rapidly changing weather, consider calibrating the sensor after conditions have settled (see instructions below)
- Extended periods of time in a fixed location
- For best accuracy, +/- 50 ft (~15 m), calibrate the pressure sensor on regular basis
- Moving to and from climate controlled or pressurized environments (indoors to outdoors)
- Consider calibrating the sensor (see instructions below)
- Debris blocking sensor port
- Rapidly fluctuating barometer data or lower/higher than expected altitude may be caused by water or debris in the small holes for the sensor port, located between the Start/Stop and Back/Lap buttons
- Use these instructions to clear debris from the sensor port
Calibration instructions:
- Run water over the port (do not use high water pressure)
- Gently remove any visible debris (do not put any sharp objects into the port!)
- Shake away excess water and allow to dry at room temp
- Recalibrate the sensor
- Hold UP
- Select Settings > Sensors > Altimeter > Calibrate
- Select an option:
If your fenix 3 HR is experiencing issues with the barometric altimeter that are not outlined in this email, please respond to this email with the following information:
- If current elevation is known, select ‘Yes’ then enter current elevation
- To use GPS elevation, select ‘Use GPS’

Ou seja, estar errado é normal. Algum de vós já teve o mesmo problema?

os SIDI 5 fora de questão, não encontro mesmo!
Agora, tens opinião sobre a versão Mega? Já li uns a dizerem que sim e outros a dizer que "é a mesma coisa" isto claro no estrangeiro!
Portanto ou os Genius 7 ou a versão Mega!? Já tenho alguns sites, com stock de diferentes tamanhos (46 e 47) para mandar vir e se necessário devolvo e troco.
