Sunrise/Sunset Complication on Apple Watch no longer works

I have an Apple Watch Series 4 Cellular in conjunction with an iPhone 12 Pro. I recently noticed that the Sunrise/Sunset Complication is no longer displaying a time or even number of hours/minutes until the next Sunrise or Sunset. I have read a number of other posts on this subject and performed all the actions. I have un-paired my watch and re-paired it. I have endured all software versions are up to date and checked Location Services, etc. the Complication still doesn’t work. I have even changed watch face to see if perhaps the problem was specific to a particular watch face but that wasn’t the case. If a resolution can be reached, it would be terrific. Thank you.

Hey there davidgr144,

It sounds like the Sunset and Sunrise complications on your Apple Watch are no longer working as expected. We also see that you've done a lot of troubleshooting on your own, but the issue persists.

Have you also had a chance to do the following?

Delete and re-add the complications
On the Watch app: Go to Weather > Default City > My Current Location
On the Watch app: Go to General > Background App Updates > Weather > "On"

We know that you mentioned Location Services. Did you check this setting for both the iPhone and the Apple Watch?

If so, and the above steps did not resolve the issue, please contact support: Apple Support

Take care.

I set the Background refresh on the Watch App for Weather as well. I’ve double checked all my location and background refresh settings on my iPhone. I’ve also removed the Complication by replacing it with another. I restarted my watch and re-added the Complication. Same issue. I have to click on the Complication now to show Sunrise or Sunset whereas it was just displayed on the watch face previously.
