Watch keeps showing “compass can be affected by magnetic materials…” when using Apple Maps (alien.top)

Like the title says my watch will keep vibrating when I’m using Apple Maps and shows the notification saying “compass can be affected by magnetic materials…” which is quite annoying since I’m not even using any magnetic things to begin with.

I’m using series 9 and iPhone 15 Pro btw

Anyone else have a similar experience? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

I am having this same issue and it just started happening. My phone, watch, watch band (silicone band from Apple), car, etc. have not changed or been modified in any way other than software updates on the Apple devices. Haven’t been able to figure it out but I am sure it’s a software issue at least in my case.
