My Apple Watch 5 does not have a Compass app

I am setting up a new Apple Watch 5 but the Compass app is not installed. There is no complication for "Compass" either.

Same here. When I search for the Compass app on the app store from my iPhone (iOS 13), there is no Apple Compass app - just a bunch of third-party compass apps.


And when I open the Watch app on my iphone, when I go to the app store, it just says I can now search directly on my watch - no option to even search/install from my iphone. Supposedly, you should be able to also use your iphone for this.

I was installing the right app.


Yesterday evening i started the iOs public release update to 13.1 and tomorrow morning the compass app magically appeared on my watch. I was on 13.1 PB2 before, so perhaps that had something to do with it.


TL;DR: if you have a problem with this, check if you are on beta iOS and try going to a public release.
