Compass loses calibration after charging
-
@inkognito I’ll open a feature request with Suunto: start compass calibration during activity from navigation screen.

@inkognito Good post, thanks!
About 1) Same here …
2) Weird that calibration doesn’t work for you during calibration. I just tried again and it did.
3) Your trick with the magnet also works for me.It seems that several watches are affected - and I also got a confirming private message. Maybe the hardware works, but the software is not ideally tuned. Anyway, I won’t contact Suunto service for that. As long as I can calibrate the watch during activity, it’s okay.
@isazi Thanks, that would be very helpful, too.

@isazi said in Compass loses calibration after charging:
@audaxjoe if you move it doesn’t ask. You need to stop.
It doesn’t I am afraid; I was hiking a couple of weeks ago for around 150k at 30-35 km a day with plenty of stops.
One or two days the watch asked to calibrate, most it didn’t. Once I remembered before I started and calibrated the watch first, then ten minutes into the hike it asked to be calibrated!
It not normally an issue as when you move the watch quickly aligned itself, but those times when it is an issue, it proves most frustrating.
So, thank you for putting in a features request to be able to calibrate during an activity manually.

It’s so weird that the calibration works for me during the activity. I have to be on the navigation screen for it to work. Maybe that clue was missing…
Anyways, I can still hardly believe this sloppy engineering work: a watch that is not able to really store/save the calibration with a magnetic charging connector
