Compass *ALWAYS* Opens and cannot stop it

For whatever reason, the compass is always opening on my Apple 9 watch lately - a new development. I’ve restarted and removed it from any faces.


It’s always on screen and I cannot get it to go away. I don’t think I have any gestures associated with opening it.


Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10

Close it - double click crown and swipe the app leftwards and tap X


Then prevent it - iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, General, Return to clock

Go to Compass and turn off Return to App
