Thanks everyone, I tried resetting it too. I have just come off the phone to Apple who were very helpful. In the end I needed to unpair the watch from my phone and start again and this has resolved the issue 😆.


thanks again everyone !

OK, how about this then:


On the watch, under Settings/Clock - scroll to the bottom. The toggle for "Set Timezone Automatically" might be greyed out and the wrong time zone might be listed there?


If that is the case, on the iPhone, turn off Screen time for the family member:

  • Settings/Screen time/ scroll down to select family member / Turn off Screen Time


After a moment, it should be possible to set the time zone on the watch.

Then turn on Screen Time again, and hopefully everything still works...?
