Galaxy Watch 6/6 Classic compass is not working properly, is not accurate, issue
Last Update date : Sep 13. 2023
Cause: If there’s magnetic material such as a wireless charger, or metal strap containing a magnetic part near the Watch series device, or using indoor circumstances such as densely built-up cities, inside buildings, limited space, parking lots, or inside cars, it can affect the accuracy of compass sensor on the device because of the magnetic interference. So, the display of the compass on Watch Face may be inaccurate.
Affected Models: Watch 5 & Watch 6
When using the Compass feature (default Watch Face), please make sure to calibrate the compass first to correct the accuracy:
