Sunset / sunrise Apple Watch not working.

I have been struggling with this problem as well. I found the solution in another thread. The sunrise/sunset on the AppleWatch comes from the “clock” app and not the “weather” app. If you go to settings>location services>clock> SELECT “while using app” and it should do the trick.

Been having this same issue since at least WatchOS 10.4. Tried all of the suggestions, and nothing worked for me. I have two watches, and it wasn’t working on either.

Just poked around, and here is what seems to have worked for me so far…

Open Watch app on your iPhone.

Swipe down to and tap “Clock”

Scroll all the way down to “Siri Face Data Sources”

Tap this

Scroll to “Sunrise/Sunset”

Set the slider to on, if it is not already,

or

set it to off, back out of this screen, and set it to on again.

Mine was already set to “On” (green), so I set it off, backed out, went back in the same screen, set it on.

I immediately got the sunset time on my Infograph face.

Your mileage may vary…

I see this is an old response but wanted to say THX because I was going to post the same thing. Found the setting and toggled things off / back on...but the issue persists. Also tried other suggestions below like toggling other things off, allowing precise location, rebooted watch (also yes, on current version [Ultra 2 10.4 21T216]). This function is critical for sunset cocktail meetups on the patio! 😂 Does anyone have any current (Apr 2024) fixes?

For whatever reason, searching for “location services” wasn’t coming up, so I tracked it down the hard way. Specifically, it’s hiding in: Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services > Clock. 🙃

This worked for me... Series 9, watchOS 10.4.

On iPhone, go to Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Location Services --> make sure Location Services are turned on --> Clock --> make sure both While Using the App and Precice Location are selected.

After getting a new watch, Precise Location was off by default. Turning it on fixed the problem.

I have tried this and still does not work, any other tips?

I tried this but when I clicked on world clock I wasn’t able to change it to while using app. It was blacked out stuck on never. How do I fix this?

Location services was already enabled for the “Apple Watch Faces” on my phone and it didn’t work at all. I enabled Location Services for “Clock” (on my phone) and that was the trick that made it work for me.

I had to change it to 'never', and then change it back, and then it started working again. It had been working forever, and all of a sudden stopped showing sunrise/sunset times on my watch complication.

Cybler53 this (changing my clock location services setting from “Never”) did the trick for me. I had been fighting with this for weeks since upgrading to my iPhone 15 and iOS 10. Thank you!

Thank You! This fixed it for me, the suggestion by all the Apple gurus didn’t work, the Clock was the limiting factor, not the Apple Watch Faces!
