X6 - Compass calibration not level

I just bought a X6-HRM. Very nice.

In going through the manual, it describes that the "cross" should be in the middle of the levelling symbol, which indicates that the wristop is properly leveled.

In my case, the cross is always outside and to the right of the inner levelling symbol. This is when the wristop is properly held level. I can tilt the wristop a severe 45 degrees to force the cross inside the levelling symbol. However, this causes improper calibration of the compass; subsequent use of the compass yields faulty readings.

Contrary to what the manual advises, is it common and acceptable that the cross is outside the levelling symbol?
