unable to change Compass Location access settings

Hi,

This is with a series 5 apple watch running iOS6.

I accidentally changed the compass location setting to "Never", I would actually like it to be "When using". However Iam unable to change the compass location settings, the watch simply ignores my taps. This is Settings->Privacy->Location Services->Compass.


Suggestions?

Hi, I had this issue as well and discovered that the compass privacy settings are shared with the iPhone the watch is paired with. If you go into the iPhone settings, Privacy, and then into Location Services, scroll to Compass and if you change the settings there it will also change on the Apple Watch.
