Hello. I updated my 1st gen Apple Watch to WatchOS 4. Since doing so, Sunrise/Sunset complication does not display, just dashes.
I have checked to make sure the weather app is running and sharing my location: it is. Watch Faces is set to use location services While Using. And Background App Refresh for Weather is on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
Hi
The following steps may help:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Weather > Default City > choose Current Location (or a specific location from those that have been added to the Weather app on your iPhone, if preferred).
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
Check that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both enabled on your iPhone:
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Background App Refresh:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Complications:
The following further steps may also help:
Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first;
Unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:
The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
Initially choose to Restore from Backup during set up (most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions, such as Apple Pay cards, passcode).
If the issue persists, consider instead unpairing and setting it up as a new watch.

To everyone who replied, thank you. Apple’s helpdesk contacted me about the problem and took some diagnostic data.
Apple called on Monday and suggested unpairing and re-pairing (as Jonathan UK suggested as well). I unpaired and re-paired and setup as a new watch. At first, it didnt work—Sunrise/Sunset still did not show. I started playing around with other watch faces (I use Modular) and discovered the sunrise/sunset complication worked on other watch faces. I put the watch back on modular. The sunrise/sunset data did not show up. However, after about ten minutes, the complication started showing correctly.
Before:
After unpairing/re-pairing and ten minutes:
So, yes, a combination of unpairing and re-pairing and letting the watch correct itself worked.
The suggestion and answer don't work for me. I am on iOS11.0.2 and watchOS4 and the sunrise is still --:-- with everything enabled form location services to access for weather to rebooting phone and watch but still not working. This all started with the watchOS4 update and/or iOS11
As much as I hate to say it, “...delete and read....” We’re going from version to version, stuff changes. From the iPhone app, delete the watch, reboot both, then readd the watch. Miracles CAN happen!!
Any info for this problem?
In my case, it began working again by itself. Watch os4, series 2.
You're welcome! 🙂
And the new Siri face shows sunrise/sunset time all the time right. The problem is and stays on the other clock faces.
I managed to fix this problem. I bought series 3 watch. 😉
