Are you adding them on the iPhone weather app?

Once you add your home city go into the Apple Watch app and go into weather and change from current location to the newly added home location

Thanks! I added my home city in the iPhone Weather app and it's just below Cupertino. On the Watch my home city shows up first in the app. Does that make it the default? And why can't Cupertino be deleted?

The first image shows my home town Ballymena twice. The first one is my current location as it has the little icon beside it. The second is my saved location.

Second image is me in the Apple Watch app on my phone and in the weather app. Selecting Ballymena instead of current location.

Beta 2 has been worse than beta 1 for me... I've tried a clean install, clean reset, the works.

- Battery life has been cut down to 1/4th of the time it would last before, maybe 5 hours.. max.
- Notifications more often than not are completely unusable
- Siri is non existent
- Can't respond to any text/imessage when the notifications work

... REALLY regretting using the beta.

Mine's been constantly crashing, freezing and rebooting, so I'm turning it off until next Tuesday, when we will obviously have the next beta version made available to us. Shame, since it will clearly prevent my developering.

Yep I'm doing the same, except I have a holiday on beach that's meaning I wouldn't be wearing it anyway.
Phone back on 8.4, for apple Music and Appke Pay (UK) and will see on beta 3
 
I am trying to pair my watch now but it seems to be stuck on that wheel with the Apple logo in the middle. I remember somebody saying iTools quite a while.., but I don't remember. Any ideas?

I just downgraded to 8.4 and then tried to pair my watch and it is saying my phone is out of date.
 
Just as an FYI, I received my "flashed" watch today. It's a completely new unit, and running 1.0.0.
 
been reading around the internerds that if you update to this watchos2 beta you can't go back to 1.0, is this for real? apple has lost is fricking mind? haha
 
sorry don't have a watch as I live in a god-forsaken land.

in other news, a bunch of chinese kids jailbreak ios 8.3 and then jailbreak ios 8.4 on lauch day. way to go appel.

what a bunch of mentally-challenged folks :p

i wish ppl voted with their wallets on this one, but us 'rebels' were turned into sheep with this ios nonsense

And how would you plan in doing so? Put it in DFU mode while plugged into a USB cable connected to iTunes?

;-P

I dunno, maybe the same way it went from 1.0 to 2.0 beta I guess. this 'no downgrade' nonsense seems out of control :)
 
I keep getting and error message and not receiving any messages to my apple watch. Error mesaage: message out of order AR
sync companion.
 
I upgraded back to iOS 9 beta 2 and now my watch won't even pair. I'm thinking of going to Apple to send it off and just stay at 8.4.

I have this message from time to time. iMessage stop working. We have to wait till next Monday for the new beta.
 
My watch seems to be losing it's connection with the iPhone. When I go to General--Usage I get the message Could Not Connect to Apple Watch. Make sure your Apple Watch is nearby, powered on, and not in Airplane Mode. And, the Watch won't sync to Messages at all.

I would highly recommend this. Going to 8.4 from 9.0 Beta 2 is night and day for performance, and WatchOS 2.0 is just unusable in my mind. 8.4 is also jailbreakable, if that interests you.

Same issue. I've pretty much retired my AW to the back of an old dusty drawer until next Monday/Tuesday. :(

Nope, I did mine through the support chat online. They send you a box, you send your watch in, and they send you a replacement (in my case they did).

I shipped it out on a Thursday, and received my replacement on the following Tuesday. Turn around would probably be faster if you did it on a Monday and didn't have to deal with a weekend, as they may be closed.
 
i was told by chat that my local apple store would not be able to to do the repair in store. they are sending me a new watch and i send mine back.

not too shabby
 
I've been on os2 beta 2 since last week when it came out. I was getting great battery life until 2 nights ago. Started getting crazy fast battery drain. I did not change anything at all just the same standard use I was using. I tried unpairing and restoring didn't help then tried unpairing and using from scratch. Still getting crazy fast drain. No installed apps and my watch face complications are battery calendar and activity. I also turned off all glances. Anyone else go from good battery life to horrible on beta 2 and find a fix?
