Barometric altimeter question

[chiefs1968]

Other than tracking stairs climbed etc etc....what other purpose does it serves or can it actually work like a barometer to predict weather changes?

 

[DblHelix]

Not sure if there is a way to access it through an API (needed for weather) but it can do elevation change when running or riding bike

Yeah it’s primarily there to aid in elevation tracking.

You can measure cabin pressure in flight with barometer app on your phone. If an app designer makes one for the watches we could do the same.
