Apple Watch Compass Problem
Hi all,
My apple watch compass is completely off (by around 103 degrees). I am using a magnetic strap - Could this be why?

Yes, the presence of magnets can affect the accuracy of any compass sensor. Apple's Leather Link, 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 later, or any version of the Sport Band. For more info, see the 'Magnets and compass accuracy' section in:
