Calibrating Compass

Hi All

I've noticed that my compass heading is out by quite a bit. I've tried calibrating as per the manual by moving my arm in a figure 8 motion , but it just keeps coming up with a message saying calibration failed .Any advice would be be appreciated .

You pretty much have to take it off, as during both parts of the "8", you are moving the watch 180 degrees horizonally, and in half the 8, you flip it over

Thanks - I missed the flipping it over part - it worked after I tried it like that

And do it outside, away from large metallic objects.
