Compass watches?
Looking for a nice compass watch for when I go on hikes. Doesn’t have to be rugged like a G-Shock and preferably not electric as I have a Apple Watch Ultra.

Hmmm, so an Apple ultra has a really nice built in compass. Though if you don’t plan to use that, then there are tricks with pointing the hour hand at the sun.
on a GMT watch, if the GMT is on same time zone, then the pointing hour hand at sun, will result in gmt hand pointing north.
On a regular watch, if you align the hour hand to point to the sun, then half way between 12 o’clock and current hour is south.
In both examples, I’m talking about northern hemisphere. If you’re in southern hemisphere, then swap north for south in above.
