Summary:
After upgrading my watch to the watchOS2 beta, "location services" didn't appear to work correctly anymore. I noticed this by two things:
* the weather app displayed  the weather for the South Atlantic Ocean (a place I'm obviously not present at): (screenshot: http://c.inferis.org/image/1s0R393K0m0E/IMG_0021.jpg)
* while doing a cycling workout, I had no "speed" indication nor distance coverage (screenshot: http://c.inferis.org/image/14251E35303n/IMG_0032.jpg and http://c.inferis.org/image/1t1h1Q2N1Q0S/IMG_0033.jpg)

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a

Expected Results:
* weather show me local weather
* I get distance and speed coverage while workout cycling

Actual Results:
* weather shows data for South Atlantic Ocean
* no speed indication while cycling, and no  covered distance report when workout done

Notes:
Sounds like a 0,0 problem to me.

Restarting the iPhone and the watch did not remedy this problem.
Unpairing and repairing the watch with my iPhone fixed this problem. I wasn't able to reproduce this afterward.
So while the problem is solved in my case, it is still an issue for the upgrade process: you don't want users to have to repair their watches, I guess. :)
