Handwashing chimes on Apple Watch not working after update

Anyone else noticing that after Watch OS 7.1 update the start and end chimes for hand washing are no longer working? Tried both hard and soft restarting watch but still not working as it did in previous watch OS.

Was also expecting this to be fixed. I think it actually starts a bit easier, but still no starting chime. Out of 3 tries today so far, I did get an ending haptic buzz and a well done chime once.


The starting chime is helpful if you are wearing long sleeves and cannot view the watch while washing; really hope Apple fixes this soon. Very disappointed that 7.2 did not include a fix, since it's obvious that changes were made to the app. So someone was rooting around in the code!
