The Compass app on my Apple Watch 5 doesn’t work. The compass heading is constantly off by 30-160 degrees! Any suggestions as to how to fix this? I have obviously restarted the watch several times, without the issue being solved.

The presence of magnets can affect the accuracy of any compass sensor. Apple's Leather Loop, Milanese Loop, and earlier Sport Loop watch bands use magnets or magnetic material that might interfere with the Apple Watch compass. The compass isn't affected by Sport Loop bands introduced in September 2019, or any version of the Sport Band.

I’m aware of how to avoid metal from the band interfering with the compass. The problem is there regardless of which band I use.
