Why are location services all greyed out on Apple Watch 8, OS10
Location services is toggled on on both my iPhone and watch.
Regardless of what app I choose to view, all options are greyed out.
WTH is happening and how do I rectify this?

Hi davina285,
If you are unable to make changes in Settings for Location Services, see if you have restrictions turned on in Setting > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If this is turned on, there is an option for Location Services that can either Allow or Don't Allow Change. If it says Don't Allow Change you will need to change it to Allow. In changing it, you will need the passcode used to set up Content & Privacy Restrictions.
Learn more here - Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Take care.

Access the location permissions from your iPhone's Settings>Privacy & Security>Location Services and they would be reflected on your watch. There's no way to change the permissions directly from watch. They will be mirrored from your phone.
Thank you for your response. I had double checked the settings which were on, with changes allowed. I ended up having to submit my watch to Apple for repairs where a number of issues were identified but unable to be repaired. I think it may require a replacement which I hope won’t have the same lock out of locations.
