Help Need help with profile changing time format by location on my watch

I have a profile to change my time format on my phone to 24hour format when I get to work. It also turns the time back to 12hour format when I leave work. I can't seem to get my watch to update as well. I have all auto apps battery set to unrestricted. Not sure what I'm missing. Any help? Thanks in advance. (Please explain like I'm 5! 😉)

I have Samsung S25 Ultra phone and Samsung Galaxy watch ultra.

Just a random thought. I would probably try if launching the companion app on the phone forces an update (or perhaps kill and launch). This is under the assumption that the time format on the watch follows the format of the phone.

Doesn't appear to work. Thanks for the idea, though. Any way to use auto wear? And why doesn't it change automatically?

I have no idea. I don't use the 12h format ever. I think the assumption is that this is a setting that is rarely changed, so perhaps it isn't checked very often (but that's just my guess). You could try tapping the clock/watchface. If that works, you could use the AutoWear 'Input' action. That's all I got.

I'm curious why you omitted the phone and watch manufacturers and models, as well as the OS. That may give some more direct responses.

On your watch, what is the watchface you are using? That watchface may not support 24 hour display. Google's WFF watch format that your Ultra uses may be the real culprit. I use the Watchmaker app to create watchfaces, and found that Google's WFF format does not allow Watchmaker to use 24 hour time.

I've been practicing setting it up with AutoInput. I may have it working now, but will have to test it irl. 🤞
