Weather app not working on watch

I just got the apple watch and all the apps seem to work. But the default weather app cannot retrieve any data. I just has the spinning dots. I looked on my phone and the app works and has follow access to my location. The other weather app I loaded works great but of course I can't add a third party app to the watch faces. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

You mean the first display you see doesn't have that little location triangle/pointer icon? As I swipe through the locations I see the 3 cities I have set on the weather app on my phone with the current location one being shown first as it is in the phones app. On the watch you will see the temperature ranges and precipitation percentage arranged in a clock circle and when you swipe up you see the daily forecasts.


In the watch app on the phone you should have it set to mirror the phone's weather app. If your current location, indicated by the pointer/arrow or whatever it's called, is displayed there it should be displayed in the same order on the watch. That's the one whose temperature I have set as a complication on the watch face I use. Maybe restart your watch or both if you're not seeing the same as your phone.

Several things. Do you have the temperature complication showing on your watch face? I do, and if I tap on that the weather glance is launched to my default location which is my current location determined by the gps of the phone.


If you do not have the temp showing do you have Weather set as a glance on the watch app on the phone? Also in the watch app under Weather (where you can set it as a glance) there is the setting for default city. Mine is set to Current Location. Now in the Weather app on the phone the first location should be the current location indicated by that arrow/pointer. In addition to that one I have 3 other cities listed but the current location is the first and default one. The watch just mirrors whatever you have set on your phone. You must have it correct there first.


If you have the current location set (indicated by that arrow) then just tapping on that and swiping upward gives you the forecast.

In the watch app "Reset synch data" erases all Contacts and Calendar Data from watch.

I went Weather app and deleted city that was out of synch between complicated view. Deleting adding back and then dragging default city to top of list fixed the out of synch.

setting default city can be changed by MyWatch>Weather>default city>current default city.>new default city. Default city is then checked.


I don't see current location anywhere.
