@Gordon: So the "bleeding Edge" is currently http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/c998d8b6f9d81fa02bcb8765b4203a0e369110f8/ with espruino_2v05.17_banglejs.zip ?

Yes, you could do a tilt compensation, cf. eg. https://www.instructables.com/id/Tilt-Compensated-Compass/ , which is imho a better idea than to incorporate the spritit level.
And then there is the declination and inclination deviation of magnetic and geographic north, cf. https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/WMM/

@Robin: Yes, sort of, the video was taken with Pixel 3, which has a very wide-angled lens and the video was croppend. Rest assured that it was really parallel to the ground floor!
Having sort of spirit level indicator for orientation (bubble in the middle) might be helpful, though. I don't know if the KX023 accelerometer used is capable of providing the necessary data for this.

The compass seems veeeery sensitive to really being parallel to the ground.
If I orient the watch so that is displays around 355-005 and tilt the watch a bit to the right or left, it will go to around 40 or 320. I made a short video to demonstrate this. -
@Tx: 2.05.442 is here: http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/daec4c2ece1cdc52f8784a361b9e48991cf5e78d/
All later builds seem to be some different version. Also currently the bangle build is failing.... -
there are also some animated svg weather icons available here: https://github.com/ghys/org.openhab.ui.iconset.climacons/tree/master/icons

During my i18n of alarms work https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/pull/202 I also experienced these king of problems. When I commented out putting the initial empty json file on the bangle.js during install, the problems went away cf. https://github.com/DerGuteWolf/BangleApps/blob/a794c64c3196f2247aff86ea7150befbd8a19bd5/apps/alarm/alarm.html#L91

@Gordon: ok, I will start development and provide you with a PR.
I would suggest letting the user select two timezones and add a settings entry to switch between those two for people travelling frequently between two two time zones.
@jeffmer Thanks, tried your app and it seems to work much better and reliable than the default compass app.
