apple watch siri location issue

My Series 1 Apple Watch with newest WatchOS version begun to have issue with Siri location service with iPhone SE with the latest iOS 10. Siri & Dictation is on on my iPhone and still getting this message for location search. Only exception is my home and work, which Siri doesn't have any issue to find. Any suggested solutions?

Apple Watch, watchOS 3.1, Series 1

Hi

The following steps may help:

On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.

On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:

Try briefly turning off Location Services and then turning it back on again.
Try briefly changing the setting for Siri & Dictation before changing it back to While Using.

Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:

If the issue persists, it may help to unpair and re-pair your watch:

The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
Choose to Restore from Backup when offered the option during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
