AppleWatch 6 Still Shows Old Home Address When Getting Into My Car

Team, I have recently purchased a new house 4 months ago, and have correctly updated my Contacts card on all iOS/Mac devices, and updated my Apple ID account page with correct new home address. Yet, when I go to get in my car to go somewhere, my Watch Apple Maps pops up with '17 mins to XYZ Address in XYZ Town.' The problem is this is no longer my home address. I have signed in and out of all devices correctly, and yet the issue still persists.

Not a major issue, but still a bother nonetheless. Any thoughts? All Apple devices are completely up to date with all current OS. And no, I have not tried calling AppleCare yet, but I figured I would pose the question here. Sorry if this has been answered/discussed, I just don't have time to troll through pages of topics.

Thanks

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Perfect! The unpair/pair seemed to work, I am checking it in an hour when I go for a drive!
