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.

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.

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

@alexmodus, look at the link above. Of the first part doesn’t work after a while do the second part and that should stick.

I was able to fix it by the less radical method in my post here. It doesn't require having to allow every app location permission afterwards. Going on 1 week and weather complication works fine.

I am on WatchOS 10.0.2 and this problem still persists. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update.

Reset watch... completely rebuild all options... still not showing local weather or air quality in the complication. This is clearly a BUG.

I’m also having this issue where my Apple Watch just doesn’t load the weather like it used to. I just got an iPhone 15 and it worked fine before.

I have an issue with the heart rate complication not working. When I go to edit face it shows that it is there. But when I got back to my main watch face it does not show on the screen?

Nov 3, 2023 10:30 AM in response to dbostdorff

There has been an issue with all heart rate complications since WatchOS 10. It doesn’t sync with the iPhone.

I called Apple regarding this and they said they are aware of the issue.
