How do I fix DND settings on Apple Watch?

So, I got the series 9 last year , I had the 5th gen before. Since I got the series 9, the option,, Do not disturb until I leave this location“ doesn’t work at all. The watch itself recognises the location where I am correctly, but I doesn’t deactivate the do not disturb mode when i leave. Doesn’t matter where I am . Apple replaced the watch twice , I resetted everything but nobody knows what’s the problem!

Since it worked on your Series 5, which can not be upgraded to watchOS 11, Apple might have changed that in the latest watchOS 11 updates.

I guess, you have already check the settings for Location Services on your iPhone?

Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services/ System Services -> Significant Locations -> ON

All the other System Services are enabled on my iPhone as well, except Device Management and Suggestion & Search.

Yes, that’s on

It’s funny because it works on the phone. When I leave the location, Do not disturb on the phone will be disabled but not on the watch. I’m also not mirroring my focus, Because I want the do not disturb on the phone and on the watch separately. It worked on my serious five without any problem.
