Allow access to location on Apple Watch

Hello bowlinggod146,

Are location services set up on the iPhone that is paired with your Apple Watch? Here's how to do that if you need: Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
2. Make sure that Location Services is on.
3. Scroll down to find the app.
4. Tap the app and select an option:

• Never: Prevents access to Location Services information.
• Ask Next Time: This allows you to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don't Allow.
• While Using the App: Allows access to Location Services only when the app or one of its features is visible on screen. If an app is set to While Using the App, you might see your status bar turn blue with a message that an app is actively using your location.
• Always: Allows access to your location even when the app is in the background.

So that'll need to be set up for Reminders as well as other apps you want to use.

Thanks!

Hello bowlinggod146,

Location Services are shared between Apple Watch and iPhone. If you change them on your iPhone, the same changes will be applied to every paired Apple Watch. You can manage these settings in the Privacy section of iPhone Settings. Does your iPhone recognize you are home?

Cheers!

Can you post a picture of what you are referring to? Hand washing needs access to your microphone not your location.

Never saw that, really have no interest in sharing my hand washing. But it is checked on the safest option.
