How to use the Apple Watch compass
Open the Compass app on your Apple Watch. The app shows you the direction that the top of your watch is pointing, and your bearing appears in the top-left corner.
The compass uses magnetic north by default. To change it to true north, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap Compass, then turn on Use True North.
The compass works in different positions. For the most accurate reading, hold your watch flat to align the crosshairs at the center of the compass. As you move, the red cone that surrounds the compass needle shows you the accuracy of the heading. A narrow cone indicates better accuracy than a wider cone.
Rotate the Digital Crown up to see your elevation, incline, and coordinates.
To see your direction at a glance and open the Compass app with a tap, add the Compass complication to your watch face.
