Watch app will not open

With the new updates my watch app on my phone will not open. I noticed after the update that my watch was not receiving anything from my phone. I tried to open my watch app and it just won’t open. Restarted phone and watch updated software on both but it just won’t open.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

World clock complications not refreshing For a few weeks now, world clock complications on modular watch faces do not refresh on my Apple Watch 4. I have an iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1.1. This has actually made me miss appointments because I look at the digital time display in the complications when I’m working. They don’t refresh by opening the app, having world clock in the dock, resetting my watch, erasing it, re-pairing it, restarting my phone and watch, or turning off background app refreshing and turning it back on and restarting. I’ve also tried turning wifi and Bluetooth and airplane mode on and off and restarting in different combinations. The only way the complications refresh is by having two faces with the complications at least two faces apart and swiping over to the other one. Then they both update. But it’s really inconvenient to need to swipe twice every time I want to look at my watch. anyone have any new suggestions for fixing this? It seems like it’s an issue with the latest update, but thought I’d try asking.

This issue was addressed in the newest IOS update 14.2

Have you done that yet along with WatchOS 7.1?

Yes did both updates but the app just won’t open and so I can’t pair. I click on the app it comes on and just closes immediately.
