Enabling Location services on new series 5 iWatch.

So I am trying to set up Compass in a new series 5. Location services are set to “never”; the watch doesn’t respond when I select “while using the app”. Suggestions?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Can't change location services on my compass WHY? It's stuck on Never. I just got a new apple watch today, and was checking out the compass, it asked if I wanted to allow location services but accidentally hit no. I have gone to settings, Privacy, location services and clicked on compass I have 3 options Never (which is checked) and Ask Next Time and While Using the App. Assuming I could change it with a tap on other options, but nope. Can't get rid of the check mark on the Never option. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and help. Ronna

Compass can’t access location service on new Apple Watch Series 5. I can’t get the Compass app to access my location to display elevation and lat/long. I tried Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. Tap Privacy > Location Services > Compass. And I tried selecting While Using App but I can’t select it. It just stays on the Never selection. Any help would be appreciated.
