On my Apple Watch, I can get a face complication that has my direction, and a level on it, however, I cannot see the level in the Compass app. Am I missing something? (I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with watchOS 11.4)

I don't see any level in the Compass app or any indication in the support article that there should be. On the iPhone, level is a part of the Measure app, not the Compass.
Some watch faces do offer level as a complication.

There is no level in the Compass on the Apple Watch. I don't see it on the Compass app on my iPhone, either:
Apple's instructions specifically say that the level is in the Measurement app.

Yes, the Apple Watch complication I have is a level and a compass, and it is from the Compass app.
I understand that. It doesn't change the fact that there is no level in the Compass app itself on the Apple Watch.
Can you see more details if you tap on the " i " in the left corner, as described in this article?

Location Services are enabled on the watch?
Yes, but it is on the complication. It seems strange to me that the complication would have a feature that the app it comes from does not.
You should tell Apple directly about your wish for future watchOS app updates by using the Feedback link:
There is a level in the center of the compass there.

Check the little cross on your screenshot, if you put your iPhone on your table, it will be exactly underneath the bigger cross.
My iPhone tilted to the right side and slightly upwards, little cross for level showing up:

Neat! I never noticed that.
I saw that. And, while it certainly fills its function of making sure you're holding the "compass" level, I don't think it would be very useful for hanging a picture or anything else most people would need a level for. If there weren't a level in the Measurements app, though, I guess it would do.
And of course, the answer to the original question, is there a level on the Compass app on the Apple Watch, still seems to be no.

Lots of complications don't look anything like features available in the app.
Can you see the elevation in the compass app on your iPhone?
Yes, I can.
Yes, I can.
I did not find any level indication in the Compass App on the watch. I guess it only makes sense on the iPhone, as you can put the iPhone on a surface to find out about if it is level or not.
Why can't I see the level on my Apple Watch Compass?
