Apple Watch Ultra Wayfinder Bezel Does Not Show Lat/Long numbers - Always Updating... Hi, It's always showing Latitude: ---.----- and Longitude: ---.----- Updating... Watch OS version is 9.0.2 (20R8391) -- It started after I updated the OS on the watch. Until then I remember seeing it working. Cellular is not setup on my watch and I am not going to set that up yet. The Compass app on the Ultra works just fine. I've tried rebooting the watch, resetting the watch, rebooting my phone - but to no avail. Anyone else seeing this issue? It's terrible that the one new face that is unique to the Ultra watch is buggy! Cheers!

Apple Watch not displaying minus suddenly my Apple Watch is not displaying the minus in the centigrades anymore. So confusing one can believe the maximum temp of the day is plus 6 but in reality it is one minus and minimum is minus 6.

Apple Watch Face “World Time” Map will not update Hello, i have the Apple Watch 8 and use the Modular Compact watch face with the world time widget, unfortunately it only updates the Map when I restart the device. It would be nice to have it update automatically, so I can make a guess on what time it is on certain parts on the world.

Go to your iPhone --> Settings --> Privacy --> Location Settings --> Compass. There you can change the setting to While Using the App. This will change your setting on your watch and the altitude and other coordinates should appear.
