second indicator

[alpin]

I just received my Core (light black), looks very fine to me until now.
I observed something and I want to know if this is normal: the second indicator (the same which indicates the north in compass mode) is randomly disappearing in “watch” mode. It appears when I am playing with the mode button going back in “watch” mode. Is this something normal? Or do I miss something in setup? I just hope is not a “bug”!
Thanks.

	Suunto Core - Click for more info The Suunto Core is the benchmark of Suunto's ABC (Altimeter, Barometer, Compass) wristop computers, furnishing the best features of top-selling Suunto predecessors, and then advancing upon their legacy with innovative environmental monitoring functions that any outdoor adventurer will find invaluable. The Suunto Core is the culmination of years of testing, research, user feedback from the field, and technological advancements in the Suunto laboratory.

	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.

Your watch is fine. The seconds indicator only stays
on for around 10 minutes. A touch of the button will
bring it back on for another 10 minutes.
