WatchOS 10.0.1 loading weather issue

My observations and a hack until Apple is not fixing this issue with and future update:

• Please set on the preferences of the Apple Watch App on the iPhone "Current Location".
• Go to the Apple Watch and close the Weather App by double pressing the crone and swiping from right to left every application which is open. With this you shut down the app in the cache.
• Turn your Apple Watch completely off by pressing the power button right side, pressing the "shutdown-icon upper right and swiping from left to shut down the watch.
• Wait some seconds to be sure that the Watch shut down completely and then turn it on again.
• After Reboot of the Watch go to the preferences app on the watch (not iPhone) and see under the weather section what location is set as the default city...in my case it is "current location" then. This stays as long as you don't open the weather app on your Watch! When you open the Weather App on your watch (e.g. by pressing a complication), then in the preferences of the weather app on your watch the default city "current location" disappears and will be set to your the first fixed city you have on your list...and then the trouble starts with no updates on the complications etc.

Oh good, so it's not just me. I have the Ultra, on 10.0.1 and I just got my iPhone 15 Pro yesterday updated iOS and WatchOS. After updating to 10.0.1, my weather has not been loading, either.

In my Watch app on my phone, the weather app shows the proper weather locations (Seattle, Los Angeles, etc). However, when I view the weather app on my watch, it only shows the default cities of Cupertino and New York. On the actual watch face module, it just shows "--".

Hope this gets resolved soon.

I think I’ve found a solution, at least for the time being:

1. Go to Watch app on your iPhone
2. Tap on “my faces” (I have my phone language set in Catalan, but get that, skins? Spheres? U know, home view)
3. Go to “complications” and tap on wherever you have “temperature” (in my case, try yours)
4. If yours have a “more…” option, tap in
5. Tap on your selection again, even you’ve seen it selected with a ✔️ before.
6. If you look your watch, now you should see it.

We'll see if it lasts for a while or what.

I have the exact same problem.

I tried this fix and, for the time being, it's working fine:

I still think this problem should be addressed by Apple.

Best of luck!

On my Apple Watch 8 I have used this method to fix the Apple Weather complication not working properly (it also fixed the Handwashing Reminder not working). Now weather location on my watch works and the complication always shows.

On your iPhone Go to Privacy & Security > Location Services, then at the top of the page toggle Location Services off, wait about 5 seconds then toggle it back on.

There’s an Apple support article that tells how to fix the weather complication/Smart Stack widget here: If the Apple Watch Weather complication isn't working - Apple Support That helped me once I did those steps.

Link is broken.

Another, more permanent work around would be to use a different app for those complications. For now, I’ve set up Windy for the 5-day forecast and current conditions/temperature.

Although I would prefer the have the Apple Weather info, this will do for now until Apple fixes this.

Barbbos - I’m using Windy at the moment until Apple fixes this, but I’d rather use Carrot Weather, but I’m not a subscriber at this time to it, which requires a subscription for Apple Watch complications.

Same issue. iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 170.01, Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 10.0.1.

I also have 7 or 8 other locations I monitor weather for on my iPhone Weather app and they haven’t copied over to my Apple Watch. Of note, I always seem to have issues transferring my Watch to my new iPhones. I ended up resetting my Apple Watch and added it as new. Not a big deal to me. Just wanted to note that here.

I was having two issues (the same and one more): 1) list of locations on watch did not match list of locations on phone (watch showed Cupertino and New York - all watch and phone settings were set so location list should have matched); and 2) watch was not showing my current location. I un/re-paired the watch, reset the watch, rebooted both devices (soft and hard), toggled off/on privacy and location settings on phone and watch plus a few more things…nothing worked.

I then added a new weather location on my phone and the watch location list immediately updated to match the list on my phone. First issue resolved. Still no current location on the watch.

I then restarted both devices…still no current location on the watch. Then toggled off/on location settings on my phone…left it off for a few minutes. Force closed the weather app on my phone and watch. Turned location services back on…current location appeared on watch and complication updated (showing the current location per my setting).

Not sure what in this series resolved the second issue but current location and complications are both now working.

I've had the same issue on Ultra with 10.0.1 and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I just followed the steps in the first part off this article, rebooted both watch and phone, and problem now seems to be resolved, at least for now.

If the Apple Watch Weather complication isn't working - Apple Support

@JDH. - That’s the same issue, although you consider it two issues. I’m experiencing the same thing.

Again, I switched to a different weather app’s complications to fill the void for now until Apple fixes this issue.
