Can i find instuctions to compass watch - Timex Expedition E Compass Watch Titanium T49201

THe PRO-TREK watch compass is very sensitive to nearby Iron (eg. cars, fridges, steamships, artillary canons, battering rams, guillotines, etc) and anything wearable or embedded in your body. I had to calibrate mine in the middle of a baseball field.

Sounds like there is a magnetic field interfering with your compass. Something close to the compass is deflecting the needle, so look for the source close to the compass location.

Hi john30x,

You have to calibrate the compass.
1. Press the upper right button (switching to compass mode)
2. Press and hold upper left button. The "CALL" will appear on the display. You are in compass calibrating mode.
3. Rotate the watch horizontally (around his vertical axis) slowly, so to be sure that he point the North at least 2 times.
4. Now press the upper left button again to input the declination (this is the angle between the magnetic and real pole). It is different for the area around the world, that you want to explore.
5. Switch between the positions of the cipher by pressing bottom left.
6. Change the cipher by pressing bottom right.
7. Switch between the active position by pressing bottom left. Now you have to enter East or West declination
8. If you are ready press the upper left. "END" of calibration will appear on the screen

Once you calibrate and set the declination you can use the the compass by pressing upper right button. As the compass is very sensitive It is good idea to calibrate it on a field, far away of metal objects and electromagnetic fields (cables, ect.). You need to calibrate the compass each time you want to use it by different surrounding.

Remember the compass function of your watch need much more energy than the watch itself. Don`t worry to change the battery when dead. The water resistance remains good even after. Very robust and accurate device. I hope that should help.

I am looking for stem and crown for Timex Expedition North Tide Temp Compass watch. Mine broken.

Use the four numbers on the back of your watch and you will have a PDF version of your instruction manual.

Hope this tip helps

Mine does the same!

Throw it in the bin, find any old analogue watch, set the right time and point the hour hand at the sun. Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12-o-clock position on your watch and that line points due south - if you're in the northern hemisphere - or due north if you're an Australian. For night navigation, find the Pole star, just up from the 'big dipper', then off you go...

I had the same issue. I found that if you re-calibrate the compass the same way you did the first time, then it will act properly. I've had to do this a couple of times and it works.

you might be able to reverse the poles back to normal with a magnet but be careful not to scratch face or get it closer than you need to to the insides of the watch.
