If you Google "does moto 360 have a compass", many of the results indicate "no".
I'm here to tell you, YES, it does.
See this video for proof
(ignore the chipmunk porno music!)
I downloaded the app linked in the video compassX...didn't work the first time. So I rebooted my watch, then it worked like a charm. I guess the magnetic sensor sometimes gets "locked" or disabled (requiring reboot to restore), but it's in there.
Update-it seems that I have to reboot my watch for the app to work every time I try the compass app.
That erases any value I might get from a compass app...not very handy to have to wait five minutes for the watch to reboot.
