The complication on my watch face for weather and the default weather app on the watch do not update the location. When I open weather on my phone, it shows my current location (Dewitt) but my watch is stuck on where I was when I put it on this morning. (Sullivan).
When I open my Accuweather glance, it updates its location without fail.
I am running iOS 9 and watchOS 2
My location services on the phone for weather are set to "Always"
Apple Watch, watchOS 2
I had this happen too. What worked for me was going into the "watch" app, then General > Background App Refresh and toggle weather off and back on.

I had the same issue, and discovered that location services were disabled for the Weather app on my iPhone. (I usually use WeatherPro on my phone.) I set that to "Always", and then went into the Apple Watch app, Weather, and set the default city to "Current Location", as gofalcons suggested. That seems to have worked for me!
Thanks this worked for me too
Check your Location Services for the watch face. On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services - check that Apple Watch Faces is set to While Using.
If it is already on this setting, try toggling it off and then on again.
I restarted the watch, and it changed to where I am now. I switched the location services off and on for the apple watch faces, I will update the thread after I leave the office to see if that helps.
I had the same problem. To fix it I went to the weather app on the phone, added another city, moved it to the top of the list, then checked my watch. Both the complication and the app worked. I then went back to the phone app and removed the city I added.
The watch updated my location once after I left work, but has since now locked itself into that location. Power cycling the watch and toggling the location services has not seemed to solve the problem.
Hi Jason
Have you also tried Alexander's suggestion?
Try going into the Weather app on the phone. Delete all the locations. That seems to work for some people.
You can add the deleted locations back if it works
I tried all of the suggestions, the only thing that fixed it was un-pairing and repairing the watch, it updates as expected now.
i'm having the same issue-- Weather on Watch no longer updates location consistently after OS 2.0. For me, it seems like power cycling the watch can force the current location to update, but the location will not update on its own. I am loathed to unPair/rePair, but I will try to see if it works.
FWIW, it looks like unpairing and repairing my Watch fixed the ability of the weather to update my location in the background at least initially. I'll check if it works automatically later on my commute home.
Well, looks like I spoke too soon. I left work over an hour ago and the weather complication, glance, and app on my Watch still shows my work city as the current location (the city is not updating in the leftmost pane of the Watch's weather app). Unpairing and rePairing did not Fix it.
I do also have the same issue after updating the watch to watchOS 2.0. The weather location doesn't update.
I've tried restarting,resetting,un pairing and re pairing the watch, I've checked the privacy settings for the watch faces but still the location doesn't update.
The only way I can temporarily make it update is by restarting the watch.
Any other suggestions?
I'm using an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.0.1
Same config here (iPhone 6/9.0.1 with Watch2.0). All I can say is that it seems to be improving without me changing anything. As I was driving around the Bay Area today, i occasionally caught my Watch updating its location (the weather complication would display a "--" instead of the previous city's current temperature). It seems to help to be using the Watch for other things that require location, like checking in with Foursquare/Swarm or getting navigation through maps. When it does get stuck on a city, I've been able to force a refresh by rearranging cities in the weather app on the iPhone (faster than restarting the watch). But I haven't needed to do that in days.
