How to calibrate altitude on Apple Watch
Recently the incorrect altitude is displayed. How do I reset/recalibrate? I am trying not to do a factory reset and lose all my setups.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

If the watch face has the problem, you should do a factory reset.

You might want to delete and reinstall the app. Some metal in Apple Watch bands may mess with the altitude sensor.
it is the Wayfinder watch face, can that be deleted? plastic band no metal
did not work. what else please
So sorry that none of this worked. This may be a severe hardware problem. You may need to contact apple support to help you get it fixed.
that did not work. What next
