Latitude and longitude not working in watch ultra 2 compass app

If I use the wayfinder watch face it will show lat and lon. However, in the modular ultra face and in the actual compass app, it never shows.

have unpaired and repaired, deleted and reinstalled the compass app. Checked all the privacy and location settings. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there...


I just talked to Support because I had the same problem.


Try the following:


(On your iphone which is connected to the watch)


Seetings > General > scroll down to " Transfer or Reset Iphone"


> Reset > Reset Location&Privacy


Restart the watch



That helped me insatntly and the problem was gone.

Yea, that fixed mine as well. Something to do with restoring from a backup of a previous phone instead of starting from scratch. The only downside is that it also blew away all my Bluetooth devices. Thanks for your input.

PS. It also fixes weather not being updated at my “current location” as opposed to a set city.
