Open the Compass app on your Apple Watch.
Tap the footprints icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then tap Start to begin recording your route.
If necessary, scroll down and tap Allow Once to allow Compass to access your Recent Locations.
When you're ready to retrace your steps, tap the pause icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then tap Retrace Steps.
Your starting location will appear on the compass, and a bouncing white arrow will point you in the right direction. The path back to the starting point will appear within the compass circle as a white line. Follow the path back to return to where you first turned on Backtrack.
When you've arrived at your starting location, tap the footsteps icon again, then tap Delete Steps.
That's it.

This could save your life one day. I'm glad Apple decided to add it.
