My compass on my Apple Watch just spins. What’s wrong

What’s going on with my compass? It just spins, reads the elevation, latitude, longitude.

Hello, Swampkids!


It sounds like you are trying to get information about the Compass app on your Apple Watch. We’re glad that you reached out to the Apple Support Communities. We want to try and help get you pointed in the right direction.


Which version of the watchOS is on your Apple Watch? To what type of iPhone is the Apple Watch paired? What version of the iOS software do you currently have installed on your iPhone? You can find this in Settings > General > About.


Also, what type of Apple Watch band do you use? This can affect how the compass responds. This info is described in the page from which you linked to the Apple Support Communities: Use the compass on Apple Watch. We hope this information helps you out.


Best wishes!
