Weather Complications not working watchOS 10 Update

Since upgrading to WatchOS 10, the weather complications do not work.


I have tried several different weather apps but none work.

Can confirm the new "bug" (watchOS 10.3) with weather not working has to do with Wi-Fi on the phone/watch.


Turning off Wi-Fi on the phone and forcing phone/watch to use cellular allows the weather complication to load properly. Noticed the issue was only happening at home and not when out running errands or at work where I'd be on cellular.


This is a new/distinct bug compared to the older issue that was occuring in the Fall. Really frustrating Apple can't get this right considering how important this feature is.

I am not sure you can be absolute on the confirmation that it's wifi/cell related. I have had numerous occasions when the weather complication will disappear/reappear with no action on my part while continuously inside my wifi, without any action on my part. Also, I have had it working fine in wifi and then lose it moving outside to cell. So to me it's not showing as associated with the mode of phone connection. I replaced the Apple Weather complication with the Weather.com one, that worked fine continuously although its pretty useless, and I reverted to the unreliable Apple complication as when its there its much better. It doesn't seem an operating system issue, I have WatchOS 8 and current iOS, so fingers seem to point solidly to some issue in the actual complication, as I assume the phone watch connection is a non-app specific interface and others work fine. whoever in Apple manages the weather complication needs to look at this, there are a lot of customers of the watch experiencing this.

Mine has stopped as well. Based on the apple forums, this has been happening for a year or longer. they give zero *****.


We've been a Mac shop/house for a while. I've realized over the last few years that Apple no longer cares if it's product "just works". My family is on-board w/replacing our stuff. Simple things like Safari Favorite suggestions that haven't worked in a decade. No, I visited that site 1 time 2 years ago, it is not a Favorite, nor have you seen me in Alaska since I went that one time 2 years ago and looked up that restaurant.

I have had this problem off and on through v10, some updates seemed to fix it and then it would come back. Things were working great on 10.4 (series 7) for a long time, then recently I updated to 10.5 and the weather complications stopped working again. (I have restarted the watch a couple of times, turned phone wifi off, re-engaged the face, etc, all with no results).
