Temp and altitude on AW5
- Thread starter Zapdoc

- Sort by reaction score
the temp is retrieved from the web based on your current location
if you're out of service, it probably won't update
I think you have to get an app to see altitude
you definitely have to get one if you want a complication for your watch face
this one looks OK, I have not tried it though
it does say the complication is only updated every 30 minutes
the app also hasn't been updated in a while, as it only talks about series 4
you might be able to find something better.

Mine still updates the weather temp/forecast even when I'm not connected to my iPhone or wifi (phone icon with slash through it on the top of the screen). But not sure if it's 'guessing' based on barometer or some other magic is going on. Last weekend, I did a walk without my phone nowhere near a wifi, and just using my watch standalone and the weather complication did indeed go from 81-86 degrees F without a connection, and it's not the first I've seen that happen.
