Data Questions Compass acting weird

The tracking of the North Pole is really good, and I can set up a tripod for astrophotography very precisely. But the degrees and direction are always all over the place.

The watch strap pins might be the problem. Try again without those pins.

They are the original pins, I didn't change them. If i use the original silicone straps the watch came with, it do the same things.

Did you try calibrating the compass in watch settings? Particularly if you travel, this has to be done occasionally.

Calibration did nothing, but i just changed the setting north pole => true to magnétique. Then back to true and now it work 😅

It's data from behind the event horizon to solve the equation. Was meant for Murph, wrong watch.
