Weather Complication Does Not Work 'Current Location'

I just got the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Yeah. But I noticed that the weather complication does not work when I set the default location to 'current location'. I the complication is empty on the watch face. When I set it to one of the cities in the list it works.


Coincidentally I do not see the location services indication in the Control Center. On my old watch there was a blue triangular icon next to the phone pairing icon on top. I checked setting and location services are enabled.

Received my new Ultra 2 today and ran into this issue. For me, setting the time settings on my phone to automatic, instead of manual, did the trick. I had changed the time setting to manual to lie to my phone to get it to resume an update to iOS 17.0 and had forgotten to reset it to automatic. I had lied to my phone that it was "tomorrow" instead of today. Flipping it back to automatic took care of it.


Just another thing to check.

Thank you. I will be contacting Apple Support to inform them of the glitch. I do not know if this is a GPS position issue, as it's not that the Ultra 2 is not identifying the Current Location correctly, it's that Weather app/widget does not show/offer the Default City option of Current Location. This is only on the watch. Default City of Current Location does show in the watch app on the phone.

I'm getting the same issue, no weather widgets are working on my Apple Watch ultra 2 but the weather app works fine.


I'm also getting problems when using maps with the distance to a destination not updating as I'm moving, so it misses turns, the distance updates when I'm looking at the watch but when I turn it away from me it stops and the distance, for instance '1.2miles' changes to '--'. When I look back even if I've moved 1 mile it will say '1.2miles' for a second before it updates. This means I miss some buzzes for upcoming turns.
