Apple Watch Ultra - Compass always showing

Hi, the watch face on my Ultra watch always defaults to showing the Compass. I've removed it as a 'complication' from my watch face, but it still keeps showing. Does anyone know what to do, please?

Hey there,


I do :)


You have accidentally turned backtrack on, so your watch is in back track mode and following tracking your steps. If you go into Backtrack and delete steps, it will stop and the watch face will default back to regular.


This was the last thing I did when I did this as I didn't turn on Backtrack on purpose, took a bit to figure out :)
