Watch OS 11.1 Now Playing Widget is gone.

I just updated my watch OS to 11.1 and none of my watch faces are compatible. When I update them to the new version the "Now Playing" widget disappears and is not in the list of available complications. New watch faces also don't have the option. I have hard restarted my watch. 70% of what I use my Apple Watch for is to quickly pause and unpause my iPhone while it is in my pocket or my bag and people ask me things so I cannot afford the time to open up my applications and scroll to whatever audio source I am currently using to pause and then have to go hunting for the app again to start it back up afterwards. Is there some way to restore the Now Playing complication to my watch face or did Apple just take away my primary use for the watch, as an instant remote?
