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?

 | Compass |  | Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more. | |  |
