WatchOS 10.0.1 loading weather issue

Same thing happening to me. What I’ll do is go on my wayfinder watch face, change the weather to something random, then change it back and then sometimes it re-appears.

I tried toggling off the following:

background app refresh

changing weather from always allow to never

sometimes it re appears but then it just goes to “- -“

super annoying.

Apple Watch ultra paired with iPhone 15 pro max on 10.0.1

I went mad about this. I thought this was about the fact that I switched my watch and paired it with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. This drove me mad. I even restored my watch to factory settings twice. Hoping this would fix the issue. I always ended up with the same bug you already reported. I hope Apple fix this really soon.

I also got issues with syncing my fitness data with my iPhone. Does anyone else have the same problem?

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.

WatchOS 10.0.2 was released today. MacRumors is suggesting this fixes problems with the Weather complications on Ultra 2. (but I only have a Series 9 so I can't test for myself).

@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.

It is reported (MacRumors) that the problem is resolved in WatchOS 10.0.2 which released a few hours ago.

I don’t see 10.0.2 yet. I’ll look for it and see what happens. Thanks for the info!

You might need to update the paired iPhone to iOS 17.0.2 before the Watch software is visible.

Also if you are one of the many who tried the recent Public Beta versions you MUST turn off the Beta option in the software update page, and go back to regular release software (the new releases don't show if you still have beta enabled)

PabloGarces - that is a fantastic workaround and it works for me as well. Does it still work after opening the weather app on the watch? Or is it just a temporary fix to get the functionality of the widgets back?

This first thing worked for me immediately:

Thanks for posting Manny. The first one worked for me too. Although the Temperature complication didn’t work at first, I changed the complication to something different from another app and then switched it back to Temp. Boom!

We’ll have to see how permanent this last.

This morning around 09:00 EDT I tried the first part. About an hour later the loading issue started again. I tried the second part (resetting Location Services) and that has seems to work so far. This is 11 hours later.

👍

I think I finally got the fix…. Go to General - transfer or reset phone; (trust me!) - Reset - Reset Location and Privacy

Once I did this, My phone and watch reset my location the next time I checked weather. It even asked me. Since I did this, the weather complication has worked perfect!!! No more Loading….. Going on 48 hrs now!!!

Same story, and there is more to it, they broke music app on watch as well, I can choose a playback a particular song from iPhone's playlist, no more. With this new firmware all songs on any of playlist on iphone are dimmed, there is a list of songs, the watch sees them, but can't pic one up, to play. I think now on watch os 10, to play any song even if they on iphone, they have to be copied to watch anyway. So uncomfortable.

It didn't work for me either when I did that, but when I went and reset the Reset Location & Privacy only on my iPhone it worked (Settings> General> Transfer or reset iphone >Click Reset > Choose "Reset Location & Privacy"). Once I've done that all apps requested these again, but weather started to work again. The problem is not on iWatch, but on iPhone.

The issue is with the Watch OS. You cannot reset Location and Privacy on the watch, only on the iPhone from which the watch takes the location settings from. That is why the problem doesn't exist on iOS 17 just WatchOS 17.

Same exact issue on an Apple Watch Ultra 2 running watchOS 10.0.2. It will get stuck Loading Weather for hours, but I can tap on the complication and the Weather app will show the current local weather just fine. But even after closing the app, the complication on the watch face will show Loading Weather.
