I use the create your own watch face on the wearable app on my phone, put in my logo image, then select the complications. One of the complications to select is a compass heading…GREAT! I go to WFS and make a customized version of what I want, upload to watch and go to set the complication data and all I see is Barometer. I can set the complication to Barometer but have to click the barometer to get to the compass. Am I not able to set the default complication to compass?
I was hoping to be able to set the default data to compass since it is an option for the default custom face maker on the phone…or am I just being to hopeful?
That is how the compass works if you are looking for something that tells you which way you are heading it doesn’t work that way. I would put a Text box under the bottom of the complication that says tap to activate compass.
I guess you could open the compass app as an image or text by using Action → Tap → Open App → Custom → the compass App ID
To get an app ID try running simple adb commands
adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555 (your watch IP address & enable debugging)
adb shell
pm list packages
You will get an output list like this
package:com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim
package:com.google.android.ext.services
package:com.android.providers.telephony
Or go to playstore and download the Package names app . open it and you will see the apps that are installed on your phone.

Appreciate the info…however. On the Galaxy Watch 4 classic, I go to the Photo+ watch face, select my photo and then go to customize. Once in customize, I select the complication and under ‘BASIC’, I see a compass setting. I select it and I get a compass heading in the with the icon on the watch face. I Get prompted to rotate my wrist in a figure eight to calibrate the compass and afterward I get a compass heading that updates direction to the ‘12’ position.
SO why can’t I see, or how do I see this option for the complications on the watch face for WFS?
Thanks for clarifying it. I didn’t know that was possible with the factory installed watch faces. It is pretty nice and if I was a bicyclist, I’d love it. I sat in my swivel chair and it tracked it as I spun around 
Basically WFS has to be compatible with all Watch brands and that may not be an option on all watches running Wear OS Powered by Samsung. The My Photo+ has all sorts of such as Samsung Health apps that are not available for WFS developers.
I know adding such things is a goal for the WFS team but it is not as simple as you’d think.
