Setting Up for True North Readings (Magnetic Declination Calibration)

If you want the watch to indicate true north instead of magnetic north, you need to specify the current magnetic declination direction (east or west) and declination angle.

  • The magnetic declination angle value can be set in 1° (degree) units only. Use a value that is closest to the angle you want to set.
    Example: For an angle of 7.4°, set 7°.
    Example: For an angle of 7°40’ (7 degrees, 40 minutes), set 8°.
