Shortcut Automation Timing Out on Apple Watch

I have an automation shortcut for when I get to work to set my focus to Work and that functions fine. I have another automation that is to set my watch face to a specific one (Modular Duo, if that matters) when my focus is set to work. Both are set to run immediately, and the watch face automation times out every time, and does not run.

iOS 18 dropped Apple Watch actions in Shortcuts Prior to installing iOS 18 I created personal automations using the Shortcuts app that would change my Apple Watch face based on certain triggers (time of day, starting or ending a workout, etc.). In iOS 18 any and all actions pertaining to the Apple Watch seemed to be removed from Shortcuts. My previously created personal automations for my Apple Watch are still there but I cannot create a new one that will control the Apple Watch. Is this a bug or was this intentionally removed?

Apple Watch 9 won't display steps as a complication since watchos 26.0.2 installed Since I installed watchOS 26.0.2, my Apple Watch 9 refuses to display pedometer++ info (like steps and distance) as a complication in either the Infograph or the Activity Digital faces. I can show them as complications when setting up the face, but nothing gets displayed. How do I fix this?

Modular Apple Watch Ultra watch face bug on the top middle position I'm using Apple Watch Ultra 2 with Modular Ultra watch face. I noticed that whenever I pressed the top middle position (which was originally assigned for Activity), the control center will automatically popped up (sometimes only the blur background covered the app just like the background in control center). The issue persists no matter what the assigned application is e.g. Activity, Weather, Battery, etc. I tried hard reset but it doesn't work. Neither did the unpairing which I tried setting as a new watch and restoring from backup. It turned out that none of them solved the issue. iOS: 18.5 WatchOS: 11.5 [Re-Titled by Moderator]
