magnetic field around the watch. Do not store the watch near any
source of magnetism, such as a computer, appliance, or television,
as the watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate
headings. Typical accuracy of wrist-worn instruments is within +/- 10
degrees.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Pull the crown to position “B” and wait for the indicator hands to
stop moving.
2. Keep the watch in horizontal position and dial facing upward.
3. Press C (COMPASS) to begin. The indicator hand rotates two
revolutions to remind you to rotate the watch. While level, SLOWLY
rotate the watch two revolutions, taking at least 15 seconds per
revolution.
4. When done, press C (Compass), keeping
the watch level. The indicator hand
moves back and forth to acknowledge
the end of calibration and then moves to the current magnetic
declination setting.
5. If you do not wish to set the magnetic declination, push the crown
in. Otherwise, to have watch automatically compensate for the
