Instinct 2 Solar compass not showing correctly

Hello, the compass is constantly getting lost, I have to calibrate many times a day, what should I do? Firmware 9.27
  • Demagnetize or replace the springbars holding the wristband. Or ask Garmin to send you non-magnetizing springbars (won't happen).

  • Hi Trux. Any suggestions about what to replace the stock springbars with? All is welcome.

  • Any suggestions about what to replace the stock springbars with?

    With matching anti-magnetic springbars that you can find on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, or even at you local watch store. You can find some for a dollar or two. Try googling "non-magnetic quickfit 22mm springbars" or similar.

    You can also buy a spare wristband for your Instinct - they often come with the springbars too, and if you are lucky, they will be more resistant against the magnetization than those you have. My own original springbars did not get magnetized (yet), but in case they do, I have a few spare cheap wristbands from AliExpress with springbars. I did not experience any compass problems with them either.
