User level: Level 1 (4 points)Having installed Watch OS27, my watch keeps losing location services. It can't show the weather or maps. I've tried resetting, toggling the location services on and off, but still nothing.

Try this
Set Location to "Always": On your iPhone, open Settings, go to Privacy & Security > Location Services, select Weather and Maps, and ensure access is set to Always rather than "While Using".
Toggling iCloud Sync Toggles: Go to your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Saved to iCloud (See All), turn off the toggles for Weather and Watch, wait a day, and turn them back on.
Check System Time: On your iPhone, verify that date and time settings are set to Automatic under Settings> General > Date & Time.
Force Restart: Hold down both the side button and the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch for 10 to 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
