WatchOS 10.0.1 loading weather issue

Hello, Watch 8 on 10.0.1 and I am having problems with the weather widget / modular face. If I let it use the current location, it marks me all the time “ loading weather” but if I put a predefined city, it shows it without problems. Anyone else has this happen and knows how to solve it?

I have tried resetting the phone and the permissions and even updating the operating system to the latest version that came out yesterday but they continue to give me that problem

It usually happens when I move from one city to another, it's like it doesn't update the location on its own

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

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.

Hi!

I had the same issue, and see the steps to fix:

Settings-> General-> transfer or reset-> reset-> Reset Location & Privacy.

So, be careful to don't click on wrong reset option.

I did this reset in my Iphone 15, after that the phone will request the privacy question to all the app's again.

So, open the weather app, the phone will ask the privacy question. I select: 'while using'.

The weather is updating again in the watch, as supposed to!

Regards

If it’s still not working, this may help. This morning I was working out and after I turned the workout app off, the weather app worked perfectly. I think the workout app forced the bluetooth to kick in and that fixed the weather app. I will find out tomorrow if I have to repeat this every day.

Here’s what I did.

1. Power off your iPhone and leave it off

2. Power off your watch

3. Power on your watch

4. Tap on a WX complication, tap the Hamburger icon, tap

the current location and wait until it populates. You’ll need Wifi or cellular data.

5. Once you get the current location weather click the crown and wait until the complication displays the weather

6. Turn on your phone.

They have to fix the weather thing man, it takes ages to load, people don’t pay all that money just for the features to start glitching randomly for no reason, is apple declining, should all of us switch to android? Everything about their software works perfectly, I’ve never heard anyone complain about the software if it’s a high end phone or watch.

If you upload a new face to the watch, it fixes it temporarily, but then it goes into loading mode again.

Cycling location services on my iPhone off for a couple minutes then back on fixed it (at least temporarily) for me on an Apple Watch Ultra.

So this issue is actually about switching the same watch between different phones? Just resetting it and configuring it as a new device works?

Manuser77 - I reset my watch & set up as new on my 15 Pro Max and it didn’t fix the issue.

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

Sep 26, 2023 5:15 PM in response to Branta_uk

Been on iOS 17.0.2 for a few days. It just might be the update for watchOS just taking time to propagate the rough to all users.

Apparently the 10.0.2 update only comes out for the Ultra 2 and 9 models, so those of us who have other models have to wait.

Sep 29, 2023 12:38 AM in response to ThePixelated

Stable for me for 3 days now. Even after opening the weather app on the watch.

Oct 7, 2023 1:23 AM in response to PabloGarces

I really love this feature, home it’s going to be fixed soon, it’s very annoying
