The checklist
- Confirm your watch has a built-in barometer; BaroGuard needs one.
- Pick the pressure unit you think in: hPa/mbar, inHg or mmHg.
- Calibrate against a trusted reference, or apply a quick offset, before you leave.
- Set your current position as zero, or enter a known altitude at the trailhead.
- Choose the climb rate unit you want: m/s or ft/min.
- Add a Tile layout or complication for quick glances between checks.
- Decide on an alert threshold, window, direction and cooldown, or leave alerts off.
- Remember that climb sessions stop if you leave the app, so keep it open while you measure.
- Charge the watch fully; live readings and sessions run while the app is open.
- Check the official forecast as well. Watch readings tell you what the pressure did where you are, not what the weather will do.
Questions
Who makes BaroGuard?
It is published on Google Play by the developer Quazmoz.
Source: play.google.comHow accurate are the readings?
They are approximate. Results depend on the watch hardware, calibration, altitude changes, weather and the sensor itself.
Source: play.google.comWhat do I see at the end of a climb session?
Relative altitude, duration, total ascent and descent, maximum climb and descent rates, and a small altitude graph.
Source: play.google.comCan a Tile show estimated altitude?
Yes. One of the Tile layouts shows estimated altitude; others show cached pressure, trend context or mini graphs.
Source: play.google.comIs there a pressure chart?
Yes. You get a local pressure chart and can compare changes across the supported time windows.
Source: play.google.comCan I see whether pressure is rising or falling?
Yes. It shows rising, falling or steady, or says it is still collecting enough data.
