My Sunrise/Sunset complication is no longer working after updating to watchOS 10 and iOS update to 17. I looked at another existing forum, and it did not reveal any information that helped. Is this just a bug that needs to be fixed, or is there something I can do to help it work?
iPhone 14 Pro Max
What worked for me: Go to Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services/Clock (not Apple Watch Faces, I have location turned off here) turn on Ask Next Time Or When I Share. Then tap on Sunrise/Sunset complication on Apple Watch. When asked for location permission allow. Repeat the whole process to deny permission again. It's still working. WatchOS 10.1 RC/iOS 17.1 RC

Thank you, scott_807. Unfortunately, this did not fix my issue. It was already working until I upgraded to the new watchOS 10. I didn’t change any settings, and these settings seem to be ok. All of the other location related complications seem to be working, except this sunrise/sunset complication.
Turn on location services for world clock via settings>privacy & security>location services>clock (while using)
Thank you, i pole!!! That was it! You did what the Apple service folks could not do! I really appreciate this!!
I tried talking to someone on the Apple support team. They were not helpful in the end, though they were courteous. I still don’t have a solution to this issue after talking to them. After a half hour, I ran out of time and had to go.
Greetings Dadpa,
For help with your watch complication, contact Apple directly. They will be the best place for you to Get Support.
Sincerely.
Go into your clock app on the phone and make sure there is a world clock for your time zone added. Mine was missing so it wasn’t updating the sunrise/sunset. I added it and it came back immediately.
Thanks Scott! Clock location was on before updating but I found it off after reading your solution. Turning location back on for the clock fixed it immediately.👍
This fixed it for me, thank you!
This is the only thing that worked after Apple 17.1.1 upgrade.
I was hoping that was it it turns out I did not have my time zone in the world clock but after adding it, it still didn’t show up I’m going to Turning on Clock location next
That did the trick, thank you!
