Qibla finder

Before you use the Qibla Finder for the first time, the watch must first be calibrated .

Follow the steps below to accurately set the Qibla direction.

  • Go to Qibla in the menu.

    Press the middle button (or SET button) to open the setup mode .
  • Next, turn only the watch clockwise at a calm and steady pace until the progress bar is completely filled .
  • Ensure that the dial is facing upwards (towards the sky) while rotating.
  • Do not turn too slowly, as this may interrupt the calibration process.


    Caution! Keep away from mobile phones, magnets, and other electronic devices while calibrating and using the Qibla Finder . These can interfere with the compass , causing the direction to be displayed less accurately.
Prayer times incorrect?

Prayer times are calculated based on a Taqweem (calculation method) . Depending on your location, a different method might align slightly better with local mosques.

We recommend selecting the ISNA or MSLM LG method first, as these are the most accurate in most cases. Test both options and check which corresponds best with the prayer times in your region.

If the times still deviate slightly after that, you can easily fine-tune them manually via the Azan Safety setting.

Correct prayer times:

With the Azan Safety function, you can set the prayer times to go off a few minutes earlier or later than the standard prayer time.


With the Azan Safety function, you can correct or adjust the prayer times so that they are set a few minutes earlier or later than the standard calculated times.
