watchOS 10.0.2 Fixes Weather Complication Bug on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 [Update: No]

[MacRumors]

The watchOS 10.0.2 update appears to address a bug with Weather complications, but the issue is only fixed on the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, the two devices that are able to receive the new software.

Multiple reports on the MacRumors forums confirm that watchOS 10.0.2 solves the Weather complication bug, but those who do not have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 or an Apple Watch Series 9 will have to wait for Apple to release another watchOS update.

Apple Watch owners have been complaining of malfunctioning Weather complications since the launch of watchOS 10, with both the initial launch and watchOS 10.0.1 affected. Those impacted are seeing a blank reading where the weather data should be, but tapping into the Weather app shows the expected information.

Some users have been able to fix the issue by opening up the Watch app on iPhone, toggling the 24-Hour Time switch in the Clock app Settings, and waiting a few seconds before toggling it back to the original position. Others have had luck turning off Location Services on the iPhone temporarily and then toggling it back on after a short waiting period.

These solutions have not worked for all users, however, so there may be no fix for everyone affected until another version of watchOS comes out.

Update 7:00 p.m.: A number of users who initially saw the complication working properly after updating to watchOS 10.0.2 are once again seeing broken Weather complications, suggesting any fix after the update was temporary at best.

I was used to it, because my Series 4 was so old it didn’t load complications sometimes anyways. Glad this is fixed on my Ultra 2!

It also fixes an Hermes watch face, Lucky Horse, that was broken on S9 in 10.0 and 10.0.1.

How could Apple have possibly tested their own Weather complication? They have to double-down on secrecy, after all, which means they can’t even know if their OWN software works well!

I complained about it on the WatchOS 10 beta but when I last looked at the Feedback App, there were zero similar reports. I haven’t had the issue on my OG Ultra or my Series 7 since WatchOS 10 came out of beta.

Uhhhh for me turning on complications under always on display fixed it. So maybe this just turns it on for everyone. Shouldn’t have been turned off

 

[Hairball]

Hopefully the update will released to the majority of watch owners soon.

I'm so glad to know the watch complication bug is a widespread issue, I was going crazy trying to problem solve it.

Mine was turned on, still didn’t work the last few days. It did work originally though.

I had the Weather complication issue last week when updating the Series 8 and just figured it was a bug in updating, so reset the watch and re-paired it (restoring from backup) and it resolved it for me. YMMV.

 

[MacBird]

It would have been nice to provide this update for all models because this bug is not only happening with S9 and U2.

 

[JCCL]

Well they had to differentiate the new watches from its predecessors. Functional weather complication, exclusively on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2

Does it fix the too dim display in dark rooms? Thats my biggest issue going from my S4 to a S9.
cant barely read what’s on the screen when in dark rooms. i have the screen settings to max brightness.

 

[Cryates]

No, it does not. Still having the issue on my S9.

Shortly after updating to 10.0.2 it worked, sure, but then it quit working again shortly thereafter.

I hope it address the location issue I experience. For example, I read the temps at home and correctly identifies the location... drive to work, it never updates the location and still shows the data from home... I never had to enter each location I went to with my AW6...

I'm sure by 10.1 several more bugs will be worked out...

Running watchOS 10.0.1 on AWS7

The weather complication workaround for me was to select a “default city”, instead of using “current location”. Once I did that, weather showed up in the complication.

That doesn’t help if you’re moving between cities, but that’s better than having a blank weather complication.

I'm having this issue with my AWU 1 and the Nike watch face

 

[Jim]

Ultra 2, I still have to toggle 24 hour setting. And it never loads the other locations.

 

[jlc1978]

On my OG Ultra I can only change faces in efit mode and the World Time timezones look to be still messed up.

 

[DribbleCastle]

The new watch weather app sucks IMO. The splash screen with the temp and the feels like the screen is useless! Why does it not go right to the circle or list interface?

 

[Johnny907]

Ok? Does this fix the bug on my Series 8?
This has been broken since Beta 2, Apple.

No it’s S9/U2 only.

 

[MrGimper]

Turn off location services on your phone in settings, wait a minute, and then re-enable it.

Fixed my issue and hasn’t returned in over 32 hours.

 

[ghostface147]

Series 7 and WatchOS 10.0.1 and no issues. Battery is weak though, but I’m at 88% maximum capacity.

 

[jz0309]

installed it even though I didn't have that issue on my U2 ...
