Apple watch temp not updating

I've noticed that the temperature display on the default watch face ("Utility") does not always update; it's often showing no temp. If I customize the window to show something else, then go back and reset it to display Temp it shows the correct temperature - for a while. Is this an OS problem or am I missing something else? Thanks

Hi


The following steps may help, having resolved issues with Weather app and complications for other users.


One option is simply to wait - this resolved an issue with an unpopulated complication for one user.


Otherwise, the following steps may help:


If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:


On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Weather > Default City > choose Current Location (or a specific location from those that have been added to the Weather app on your iPhone, if preferred).


On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:

  • Check that Location Services is enabled.
    • If the setting is already turned on, try turning it off, pausing for a few moments and then re-enabling it.
  • Check that Apple Watch Faces is set to While Using.
    • Toggling the setting to Never and back again may help.
  • Check that Weather is set to Always
    • Toggling the setting may help.
  • At the bottom, tap on System Services > check that Setting Time Zone is enabled (you may also wish to enable all other system services, if they are not presently enabled).

  • Check that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both enabled on your iPhone:

    • iPhone: Settings > Bluetooth - on.
    • iPhone: Settings > Wi-Fi - on.
    • For the best performance from your watch, keep both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permanently enabled on your iPhone.


    On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Background App Refresh:

    • Check that Background App Refresh is enabled.
    • It may also help to enable the setting for Weather.


    On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Complications:

    • If you are currently using a third-party weather app (such as Yahoo Weather) for your watch face complications, try removing it (via Edit, upper-right) and using Apple's built-in Weather app instead.


    Restart (normally) both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, turning both devices off together, then restarting your iPhone first:


    If the issue persists, unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:
