@Mads-Hintz-Madsen this is how fused direction works. If you’re moving, direction is taken from GPS heading, not from compass. Compass is used when stationary.

I don’t exactly understand how fused direction works or is supposed to work.

But I thought the idea of the blue arrow is to indicate the direction from where the wind comes.

If I’m on the bike and check the arrow then the direction of the arrow is fixed, i.e., if I rotate my hand 90 degrees then the arrow also rotates 90 degrees meaning that the arrow now indicates that the wind is coming from a completely different direction. Basically, the arrow doesn’t reflect the actual wind direction.

Maybe I’m missing something and that is the intended behavior when moving?! Only when I’m stationary, does the arrow reflect the actual wind direction no matter in what direction I rotate the watch.

When you are moving, it is assumed that the top of the watch (the 12 o’clock position) is your direction of movement, so rotating the watch will not affect the position of the arrow.

This is the same way it works when viewing the map or breadcrumb trail. When stationary, rotating the watch aligns it with the compass direction. When moving, the watch aligns with the direction of travel and disregards any wrist rotation.

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen when you’re stationary, the direction comes from the compass, so moving your hand has effect on the arrow. When you’re moving past 2 km/h, the direction is locked to the GPS vector of your movement, so moving your hand has no effect on the arrow (but when you change direction of your travel, you’ll see it). It’s the same as in the map / navigation view.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Haha! We were writing the same thing at the same time. Sorry I jumped in.
