Hello SweetCherryFlyGirl,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


These steps may be able to help you give your Compass access to your location


"Allow Compass to access your location

When you open Compass for the first time, it requests permission to access your location. Tap While Using the App to grant permission.

If Compass doesn't see your location, check its settings:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Tap Privacy > Location Services > Compass.
  3. Tap While Using the App."


More details can be found here: Use the compass on Apple Watch


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? What is your exact watchOS and iOS version? Have you restarted your Apple Watch since you first noticed this? Also, when did you first notice this?


Cheers!
