Calibrating the Compass Manually
NOTICE
Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve
heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence
magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead
power lines.

the watch uses automatic calibration by default. If you
experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after
moving long distances or after extreme temperature
changes, you can manually calibrate the compass.
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select Sensors & Accessories > Compass > Calibrate >
Start.

select Grid.
• To set the magnetic variation value manually, select
User > Mag. Variation, enter the magnetic variation,
and select Done.
Altimeter and Barometer
The watch contains an internal altimeter and barometer.
The watch collects elevation and pressure data
continuously, even in low-power mode. The altimeter
displays your approximate elevation based on pressure
changes. The barometer displays environmental pressure
data based on the fixed elevation where the altimeter was
most recently calibrated (
).
