This is something that is known to all and is that compasses and magnets are not very friendly Let's say ... In the case of Apple straps that are compatible with the new Apple Watch Series 5 model and other third-party straps, we have to take into account that they can cause interference in the compass measurements.
Logically in Apple they know it and they want users to know it too, so they notify this detail on the web page of the straps itself, yes, they do it at the bottom with the small print so it is possible that users who don't usually read the whole page they overlook this detail.
Some straps contain magnets that could cause interference with the Apple Watch compass
With this same phrase, the Cupertino company warns all users that these metal straps can be a problem when using the compass on the device. And is that as we all know this is something that happens with all compasses and on the new Apple Watch Series 5 as well.
The novelty of the compass as they have sold it in Apple has to have all the possible information so that users know exactly what they are using and in this sense the compass can be affected by any strap containing magnets. Logically they say in the web section of the belts "Could cause interference" which prevents any user from filing a complaint / lawsuit in this regard.
The straps that they have in Apple and contain magnets are the models: Milanese Loop, Modern Buckle and Leather Loop. These straps can be bad advisers when we use the compass in the Apple Watch Series 5 to guide us to a destination, the rest of the models will not have this problem since they do not contain magnets.
