Flashing gray icon at top of watch

Can anyone tell me what this icon is? It looks like a compass that flashes - it showed up after my watch restarted and was there for a few minutes before disappearing.

Apple Watch Ultra 2, watchOS 10

Hello macmatt007,  

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  


This symbol may indicate that the Backtrack feature is running. The Compass app icon appears when you are using Backtrack.


You can find more details here: Status icons and symbols on Apple Watch - Apple Support


All the best!
