I have a similar question, but I know for a fact I had time travel on the modular face I use, and have since day one. About 2 updates ago, the time travel stopped working, and it has driven me crazy every time I need it. Apple, please bring back the time travel for the modular face!!! Please!?? For the modular face, timetravel allowed me to see when the sun would rise or set beyond the immediate future. Like right now, I want to see when the sun is going to rise tomorrow. But I can't unless I change face.

Edit: In fact, I can not timetravel on sunsirse/sunset with any face. I think Apple broke it, but what can we do?!?

Try restarting - or, if that doesn't work, force restarting - both your iPhone and your Apple Watch. When restarting, turn both devices off, then restart your iPhone first:


  • Restart iPhone: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; drag the slider to turn your iPhone off; when it has finished turning off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
  • Restart watch: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag the slider to turn off; then press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.


  • Force restart iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
  • Force restart watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Try unpairing and re-pairing your watch:


The Apple Watch app on your iPhone takes watch backups automatically, including a fresh one when unpairing. When setting it up again, choose to restore it from backup when offered the option. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards).


Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If that does not help, I suggest contacting Apple Support: https://www.apple.com/support/watch/contact/
