Apple Watch workout app not getting gps data

Hello guys, I can’t figure out why my Apple Watch workout app isn’t showing the map after a had a outside workout, it has all the permissions in settings etc.

I saw this (see screenshots) when I opened the location settings on my Apple Watch, it says it will ask about permission when using it, but I never get the question. I also can’t change it in de settings of the Apple Watch, see my screenshots (it’s in Dutch).

Anybody know what to do? Screenshots


I know that my Watch mirrors my iPhone for the privacy settings, but there isn't an app called Apple Watch work out where I can enable the permission for gps.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
