It's a real pain the a** to go in on every ride and click the elevation correction, such that I just stopped worrying about it.
Edges don't? My Garmin watch has a "use the barometer for elevation" mode, and what's basically a "use GPS for elevation" mode. It's amazing how much they leave out of their bike computers.
