1 Hold the watch horizontally- This trick can be used anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere during the day, when the sun is visible. Lay the watch flat and face-up in your palm so that its face is parallel with the ground.

2 Point the hour hand in the direction of the sun-Turn the watch, your hand, or your entire body so that the hour hand of your watch is pointing directly at the sun. The time on the watch doesn't matter, as long as it's accurate.

3 Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the twelve o'clock mark to find North- The exact middle of the angle between the 12 o'clock mark and the hour hand on your watch marks North, while the point directly across the face of the watch from it marks South.
