Q: Sunrise/sunset times not displaying

I'm having trouble with sunrise/sunset times (in the UK). Was disappointed when the Solar watch face didn't match actual sun position, then noticed if I choose to add sunrise/sunset to other faces I just get __0__'__''


Have I got a setting missing somewhere?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3

    I had to walk outside for it to start working....I'm not sure if it just took time and that coincided with me going outside but I was away from my phone and wifi and I looked down and there it was.....others had the same issue and said it resolved itself after some time.

     

    Good luck!

     

    Cheers,

    Thanks, had no luck yet, but kinda reassuring to know others had the problem and it resolved itself.  Fingers crossed :-)

    It sounds like this was a common issue this morning. Mine was like yours and then it said Sunset at 1:10pm (which would have freaked out all of Chicago if the sunset happend at this time). Around 8:00a CST all my watch issues were gone and all my Glances were updating with the correct information. The only issue I am still experiencing is with the software update with the watch. It is still saying that it cannot connect to the internet. From what I have seen on the boards, this too is common.

    to solve the problem : you have to power off your apple watch: http://www.imore.com/how-to-control-navigate-apple-watch#slide9 , then power on the apple watch :http://www.imore.com/how-to-control-navigate-apple-watch#slide10

    after you have done that, it works. I had the same problem with my apple watch.

    Sunrise/sunset times worked when I first got my watch, but stopped. None of these solutions have worked for me.

    I am happy to report that Sunrise/Sunset times did come back a few minutes after I turned the watch on and off.

    Have been having a similar problem. my watch faces show sunrise/sunset times perfectly well but the astronomy face shows everything wrong. the moon phase and the sunrise/sunset times are all wrong, despite it finding my current location perfectly well. this is particularly peculiar as everything is correct in the solar face. interestingly, the astronomy face was working fine a while back. I must admit I'm rather disappointed. can't find a fix for now.

    Same problem, and I found the solution over at macrumors.

     

    Essentially, the watch loses track of your location. To confirm, go to the Astronomy face and see if your location on the surface of the earth is marked with the green dot. If you're missing sunrise/sunset times, the green dot on the Astronomy face will likely be missing.

     

    To fix this, go to the Maps app, and use the location icon to go to your current location. Once it does, go back to the Astronomy face and verify the green dot is back where it belongs. This may take a bit of time. It seemed to help to cycle between earth, moon, and solar system views on the Astronomy face.

     

    Once the Astronomy face shows your position on the earth with a green dot, go back to the other watch face to confirm the sunrise/sunset times are showing again.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Steve,

     

    I too have been experiencing this exact problem with my WATCH, and was hopeful iOS 8.4 would've solved this, as I saw in the release notes a fixed issue pertaining to GPS accessories losing location information, but unfortunatey it's continued to persist. I find myself having to shutdown and restart the watch every 2-3 days to get location services to come back up.

     

    I have not however tried the workaround with the Maps app, so the next time it occurs, will give that a try instead! This is definitely a bug that I'm guessing Apple will address in watchOS 1.0.2.

    The green dot fix as above works for me.
