How do I calibrate the compass?

I live in NYC, so knowing whether I am facing north, south, east or west is quite obvious. The compassion my Series 5 watch, however, seems to have all the directions exactly backward, claiming I'm facing east, when in fact I'm facing west. I am not seeing how to calibrate the compass. Is there something I'm missing?
