Suunto Ocean - Compass; Calibrating Compass; Setting Declination

If your watch senses vertical movement, it switches to measuring altitude. When you are
viewing the altitude graph, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes),
your watch interprets air pressure changes as weather changes and adjusts the barometer
graph accordingly.

strong magnetic fields or a hard knock the compass might show the wrong direction. Do a
new calibration to resolve this issue.
