Hello johan164,
What we'd recommend is checking out the requirements that are listed at Set up Handwashing on Apple Watch Ultra - Apple Support. You've done right by checking your location settings. Per that article, make sure that, "To receive handwashing reminders, you must set a home address in your My Card in the Contacts app on iPhone."
Cheers!

I had the same issue after iOS 15. I have found a solution that has worked on my Apple Watch 8 WatchOS 9.6. The problen has been that "Handwashing" was missing under "Location Services" in the iPhone Settings> Privacy & Security> Location Services list.
I turned the "Location Services" toggle at the top of the page off, then turned it back on again. After I did this "Handwashing" instantly appeared in Location Services and it was set to "Always" Now I receive a reminder when I come back home to wash my hands.
I hope this solution works for you.
Hello johan164,
It sounds like you're using the correct device and have the correct settings enabled. You can try to resolve the issue by restarting both devices.
Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restarting both of your devices, we recommend that you Get Support from Apple Support.
Thanks.
Hi Johan164,
If you've completed these steps and even reset the Apple Watch, but continue to have this issue with Handwashing reminders when returning home, then it would be best to contact Apple Support directly: Get Support
They'll need to take it from here.
Take care.
Thanks. I have looked in my card and my home adress is there twice in different formats. I have deleted the one and will see what happens now.
Hi johan164,
Great job noticing the second address. Just let us know if you still have issues.
Take care!
I have changed to just one home adress and a work adress, but I'm still not getting a reminder on my watch.
I've now double checked the adress and reset the watch and phone and it still is not working.
So where are the reminders for reactivating handwashing reminders?
