Tyler,

Thanks for your comments.

Today, the watch has gotten worse. The wristop won't complete its calibration process. When attempting to calibrate, the dots start appearing to form the progression circle but it refuses to complete more than half a circle. This occurs on repeated attempts.

In normal mode, the compass indicates a range of NW to N to NE, regardless of the actual direction the wristop is pointed in. Simply, the wristop seems to be locked into sensing North everywhere. This is exactly the same fault as my previous Suunto Observer.

I wanted to know if the wristop has become magnetized. As a crude test, I moved a mechanical compass around the perimeter of the wristop; it did not indicate that the wristop has become magnetized.

Is there some simple way that a user can "demagnetize" or re-set the wristop when the compass becomes jammed as my two watches have?

	Suunto Observer - Click for more info The shock-resistant Suunto Observer is a tool built for outdoor challenges, but its timeless design makes it wearable in any situation. The Observer is 1/3 smaller in both diameter and width than the first generation Suunto Watches (Vector, Altimax, etc). It also features a chronograph, which previously was only offered in the Navitech but is now discontinued.

	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.
