‘Notify When Left Behind’ not available on Apple Watch Series 6 watchOS 8.0

I just updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iOS 15 and my Apple Watch Series 6 to watchOS 8.0. Under Find My app ‘Notify When Left Behind’ is not available when I try to enable it for my watch. Is that a bug or the feature isn’t available for watch yet?

I’ve been in contact with Apple support and after escalating the problem to the technical team they told me it’s a feature that will be available later on on the watch.

I tried the iphone 12 left behind and the notification is coming up the apple watch 6 no problems, if you don’t set the ‘except at’ it works in any locations home included, from 300 feet roughly after 1 min from where you left it 👍
