How often does the Earth complication update itself?

I have the Earth complication on the Infograph watch face on my Series 4. It seems like the Earth doesn't update frequently or at all. If I switch watch faces and switch back, it does update. How often should it update?

I have the same problem with Apple Watch S4. Earth complication does not update.


Can only force an update by going into the Customise panel and then quitting out, or by swiping to another watch face and then back.


Watch is on WatchOS 5.1.1, and iPhone is on iOS 12.1. These are the latest OS versions available at the time of writing this post. The problem has been there when I purchased the Watch in mid-September, 2018, and it still exists after two WatchOS updates (5.0=>5.0.1=>5.1.1)...


Tried rebooting iPhone and Watch a few times, which didn't help.

Same here. It worked until the incremental OS update. Now spotty at best. It worked all day Friday 10/5 then nothing. I went to an Apple store and picked up three watches and all there had the same problem. Clearly software or data source issue. AQI also goes blank for most of the time. Annoying to have features that don’t work.
