Apple Watch 10 (watchOS 11.2) location not working

Hi all! Just got new Apple Watch Series 10, updated iPhone iOS to 18.2.

Location on Watch is not working neither in Apps (Maps, Google Maps, Yandex Maps, 2GIS), neither in Widgets.

Nothing helps (restarts, reclicking/reapplying allowing Location Services etc.). Checked that one/same iCloud account is used.

Watch totally does not understand where am I. Even weather, sunrise/sunset times are empty


Maybe someone has a solution?

The situation is similar. Ultra 2. LW version. New watch, updated to the latest version of the watch and iPhone. Tried everything possible. The usual reboot / turn off / turn on the watch and phone. remove the widget and put it again. geolocation services are checked, granted access to absolutely everything, always and accurately. changed dials, disconnected the watch from the phone, reset the geolocation settings in the phone, network settings, did a full reset. nothing helps. Wi-Fi and mobile connections are excellent. spontaneously in the city it can work well, then geolocation disappears and no application that requires geolocation works. while everything works fine in the phone. very, very many people have such problems. this is clearly a software problem, I really want them to fix it as soon as possible and release a new update, honestly I did not expect this from Apple, everything has always worked perfectly, that's the only reason I am loyal to the company.
