How to detect System settings changes on device?

Question

My WF is not behaving the same way on a device as it does in the simulator when System Settings (time format, language, units, etc) are changed. 
 In the simulator the WF gets called in onLayout which allows it to refresh using the new System Settings. But on the device, onLayout is not called. 
 It seems that onSettingsChanged is called only if the WF settings changed but not when System Settings changed. 
 Is there another way to detect System Settings changes? What am I missing? 
 Thanks, 
 Pete

I've confirmed this, like the unstall/update crashes due to resources, is what is causing my issues. 
 I mis-spoke early, changing the language works fine on the Sq and Fenix6 and it works as you describe. The app is terminated and restarted. 
 However, on the Epix, when the app is restarted, it fails, but the old instance is also not terminated. This is why I see the old language displayed! If I re-select the WF it works fine; showing the correct language. 
 So, yet another Epix FW bug... Wasted 2+ hours chasing this down
