Although I am probably denying the obvious here I have to ask…

I’ve had my Observer for around three years now. For the last couple of months I have found the compass being less and less reliable. Now no matter what direction the watch is pointed in the compass varies no more than 15-30 degrees.

I have attempted to re-calibrate the compass but when I rotate the watch the degree indicator does not change…

So… any suggestions or is this sounding like a repair issue?

Thanks in advance,

Caveboy

	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.
