Set it to use correction, also set Accurate Elevation to No and reprocess the file to get elevation correction on the file that came from your watch. You will need to create a new Elevation chart with both Altitude and Fixed Alt to see the difference. Compare it to the Strava one now. There will still be differences because Intervals and Strava have diffe…

ok thanks for the tip, wasn’t aware intervals has an elevation correction as well. Unfortunately it is super inaccurate in my case and it overestimates by a lot (data is very bumpy so I guess that adds up). Will have to resort to the manual edit I guess.
