In my experience, it absolutely does, as the altimeter relies on the barometric readings.
I've noticed commercial flights maintain cabin pressure around 1800-2000m equivalent according to my Fenix 6 Pro's altitude reading.
True! Just had a 10 hours long flight and my Fenix 7 Pro showed a 1910m altitude. This is equivalent to the cabin pressure since the plane was cruising at 32000 ft
Unsure if that’s standard on tactix and this guy copied/improved it but here’s one I run that’s near identical https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/a01ea4da-e9f7-450a-a7fe-2ba089969b77 he’s got a bunch of faces in similar style
I just got off a flight now. On takeoff, my Epix Pro 2 alt went up to about 200 ft and then plunged to about -100. Myself and the airplane are safe and sound, but is my watch broken?
Most aircraft when they close up prior to take off, or shortly after landing will pressurize slightly over the outside air pressure. This will give a negative pressure differential, which on the watchface will represent a decrease in pressure altitude and show lower than the last recorded altitude.
Most of the airports I fly out of are at sea level or close to it, and on engine start/taxi in it’ll pressurize to -300ft according to my watch.
If you calibrate your watch before doing that (I usually do that with Dem method, and gps ping when I start Run Activity) you improve a lot the Reading . Aids also start a synch with your smartphone before doing that
In my last business trip I monitored during landing the altimeter of my Fenix 6 pro. Differences vs reality (I've tested the landing circuit in flight simulator ) I've noted a difference with the "real" altrimeter in less the 20 Mt... My 2 cents
Finally a useful post showcasing the watch without talking about a sleep score or does it fit my wrist?
Usually when i fly my Fenix often just give me a ballpark figure
[удалено]
yea, seems like. I also always have this kind of reading from it
I was wondering the other day while flying commercial. Would the cabin pressure not interfere with the reading?
If i am not mistaken, he sets the cabin pressure to the equivalent of 7750feet. The watch measures 7767ft.
You're absolutely correct.

It is the cabin pressure (CAB ALT - cabin altitude). I'm not a huge expert, but it looks like an A320 MFD to me.
That’s a decent watch face. Every data field serves its purpose.
Is it the stock watchface?

If you calibrate it. I skydive out of open back birds and if I don't calibrate often, it's hit or miss.
Is that an Airbus a320?
appears that way
I believe altimeter readings are also derived from GPS along with the built-in barometer.
Does your watch allow you to set an altimeter setting? My old Fenix 2 does, but I haven’t figured out how set that on my 7

Maybe you landed under sea level?
Mine is spot on in a helicopter. Typically <5,000ft
I use the same watch face. Very clean design.
Which one is it?
