iPhone clock not appearing in Location Services

I am trying to update settings within my family's collection of iPhones. My iPhone has this option to change/set, but nobody else in the family does. I can go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services > Clock and then adjust the settings accordingly. I had this available on my iPhone 14 just a few days ago, then upgraded to 15 pro and I still have this setting. However, my husband and 3 daughters using 14s do not have this option within location services -- no "Clock" appears as an option on their list of apps. Any advice on what setting needs to be adjusted to make the Clock appear in their location services.

When I look at that setting on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, it shows an explanation that it has to do with the Apple Watch. Do the others in your family have Apple Watches? My thought is that the Clock appearance in Location Services has to do with Time Zone settings for automatic changes. If you go to Settings>General>Date & Time, so you see Set Automatically turned on?

Thank you for that insight! I do have an Apple Watch connected to my phone, but one of my daughters does as well, and her phone also does not show the clock option. Maybe because she has an older watch (series 3 vs 8)? I was just really hoping it would be a better way to prevent another daughter from bypassing screen time by changing her time zone. I think I may have it figured out now, but it ultimately requires me to redo all her screen time settings, which will be a pain, but necessary! Again, thank you for letting me know it is connected to watch, which makes sense why I have it and others do not.
