I realize that this is a trivial question, but it piques me. On the Astronomy face during evening, night, and early morning hours, there is a small green circle that pulsates, becoming larger and smaller alternatively. I suppose it indicates the location where the watch is being worn, but it does not appear on my wife's Apple Watch, and it does not appear on my watch during mid day hours. Can anyone explain this?
 
It's mid day here and I see the location green spot...

If you happen to touch the wheel, you'll notice it goes away. Also, it must depend on gps/position updates being current, so it may disable for some reason related to position being out of date.

It's not that. My green dot was gone for a while and came back on its own.

Yes, my wife's location settings are accurate, but she doesn't have what we are calling "the green dot"!
