Reminders complication on Metropolitan face no longer scrolls with Digital Crown

I have two Apple Watches, a Series 6 and a 9, and since Watch OS11 I've been having an issue with the Reminders complication on the Metropolitan watch face. When the complication is tapped, it will open as normal, but scrolling with the Digital Crown doesn't function. You can scroll by swiping on the display as normal. The complication functions normally with other watch faces. And if you invoke the Reminders app from the app picker, the Crown also functions normally. Seems to be a bug in the OS, but curious if others are seeing this or have a solution. I've tried creating a new Metropolitan face from scratch but that didn't help.

Apple Watch Series 9

I've noticed this too and filed it in Feedback Assistant with report # FB15277502 ("Digital Crown not scrolling in apps opened from Metropolitan face complications") if you want to report this and reference my ticket too!

I’m also seeing the same behaviour with the Metropolitan face since upgrading to Watch OS 11 - I haven’t tried the Reminders complication, but none of Weather, Activity or Timers scroll reliably with the crown any more when launched from a complication on that face.

It seems like the face itself is somehow stealing focus back from the apps after a fraction of a second. If you scroll the crown after opening an app from a complication, it seems to behave the same as if you’ve tapped the face and scrolled - the numbers on the face stretch out.

Yes, I think you're right about the loss of focus after a brief moment. I often had the impression that the crown was functional briefly before becoming non-responsive. On the plus side, the issue with the Metropolitan face led me to try the Reflections face, which I've come to like a great deal.

Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, a hard reset didn't fix the issue.

I am also having this issue and have not yet found a solution. Really like the face, but the issues with crown use are a little frustrating. Hope this gets fixed.
