Sunset / sunrise Apple Watch not working.

The Sunset / sunrise is now showing on my Apple Watch face. If I click on the icon it does give the information per city I have in my World Clock on my Iphone.

I've checked the Security Location Services and this is set on 'while using app' as per earlier solutions offered.

I've also delinked the watch from my iphone and installed it again.

Also tried to switch to a different app and switch back to sunset / sunrise. No luck so far.

It seems to have been caused by a recent update. Any suggestions?

Hi all! This has been bugging me for a while, and I finally googled about it last night and tried your ideas. Thank you for sharing! I’m not sure exactly what fixed me, as I tried a few things.

I toggled the Sunrise/sunset under Watch app->Clock->Siri Face Data Sources, first just turning off, backing out and turning back on, then when that didn’t work turning off, killing the app and going back in to turn it on.

i also found Precise location off under Settings->Privacy->Location Services->Clock and turned it on.

I still had no sunrise time on my watch face after both of these UNTIL I RESTARTED MY WATCH. That was the key for me. It seems like it worked for other people instantly after checking those settings, but for me the time did not show up on my watch face until I powered the watch off and back on. This is also why I’m not sure what exactly fixed it, since I didn’t restart until after doing multiple things.

Just wanted to share with those of you still struggling in case you tried all of the above fixes but never restarted. Hope it helps!

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!

Sorry to be a dummy, but is this on the watch or on the phone?

Been an ongoing issue here too. Followed this guidance, left the watch app and went back in and I have sunrise and sunset again. For now. Thanks.
