Compass issues in watchOS 10

Since upgrading my Ultra (first gen) to watchOS 10, the Compass app has been non-functional. It cannot find the lat/long. I cannot save waypoints. It has no idea where it is.


I've tried repairing the Watch twice and once I set the device up as a new Watch. Still no joy.


Is anyone else having troubles with Compass on watchOS 10 on an Ultra?

Had the same issue. Solved by reset the location and privacy on iPhone. Go to settings -> general -> transfer or reset iPhone -> reset -> reset location & privacy. After reset, reopen the compass app on watch and grant location permission.
