      The compass works pretty well.
      However, why do I have to calibrate it again and again each time I turn the watch on? This is really annoying.
      I have the latest fw update.

        I turn the watch on?

        Very probably, because you turn it off 🙂

          @galerna it should self calibrate if you leave it for a while. But yes probably because you turn it off…

          I have the Vertical. After last FW update it needed calibration. Left it for a while and next time I looked the compass had calibrate itself.

            @galerna Every time you turn the watch on this is needed. Why are you turning the watch off?

              For me it’s biggest improv of last updates. I calibrated my compass let’s say like month ago, and it’s like 95% perfect accurate. I don’t know how often do You turn Your watch off. Auto compass finally working as should be at watch release.
