[Healthcare system] [Healthcare system] How do I calibrate Altimeter on my VivoWatch 6
(1) How VivoWatch 6 calculates altitude
VivoWatch 6 uses a barometric altimeter to determine altitude through atmospheric pressure. When your altitude changes, the air pressure also changes accordingly. The VivoWatch 6 calculates your current altitude by sensing these changes in air pressure.
(2) Advantages of calibrating the altimeter
Severe weather conditions (such as during a typhoon) can affect the accuracy of the watch's altimeter. It is recommended to calibrate the altimeter during harsh weather or when moving from one location to another with significant altitude differences to ensure the accuracy of the altimeter.
(3) Calibrating the altimeter using ASUS HealthConnect APP with cloud data for atmospheric pressure at your location (operated via the mobile app).
1. Your VivoWatch 6 needs to be connected to the ASUS HealthConnect app.
2. You need to set the app's location access permission to Allow all the time :
-Android: Long press the ASUS HealthConnect app icon > App Info > Permissions > Location > Allow all the time.
-iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > ASUS HealthConnect > Always.
*By default, the permission setting is often set to Allow only While Using the App. If not changed to Always allow, it will only sync when you open the HealthConnect app's Health data page.
3. You have to log in to your ASUS HealthConnect account:
Click on the person icon in the top left corner of the Health data > Log In.
(4) Manually calibrating the VivoWatch 6 altimeter with trusted altitude information (operated via the watch).
VivoWatch 6 Home > Steps > Swipe up on the Steps page > On the Altimeter page, press the Edit (pencil) button > Enter the current altitude.
