there is no indicator that the compass has been calibrated. it simply resets itself..

IT will turn itself off to save battery after 30 seconds.

If you keep getting promoted to recalibrate it again, hold the watch with two hands, place the buckle of the strap on a slick table and turn it twice.

Let me know.

The compass works phenomenally well and is balls on accurate. Those who have trouble with it need to first calibrate it. To calibrate: just keep the watch as level as you can and turn it around twice. Second when you’re using don’t tilt your arm up to your eyes (like you would when you’re checking the time otherwise your readings will be all over the place) instead keep your arm level and tilt your head down to the watch. If you keep the watch level, just like you would with a compass, the Suunto’s compass is amazingly accurate and matches my Lensatic and my Sliva.
