I have a Timex e-tide with compass, temp and tide functions. The compass no longer points north and will randomly point in any direct when activated, is there a way to re-calibrate the compass?

Low battery can cause this type of fault! Make sure after changing the battery to do the all reset inside of the watch. If this does not work get in contact with Timex for how to have their watch sent for service.
For Temperature calibration: 1. Pull the crown to most extended position (2 notches) 2. Temp hand moves to a default position 3. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button) 4. When done, push crown to 0 position (I used melting ice water to calibrate and fix to 0 deg C)
For Tide calibration: 1. Pull crown to middle position (1 notch) 2. Move hand in + or - direction by pressing temp or tide buttons (above and below crown button) 3. When done, push crown to 0 position
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.
