weather app is slow

I really do not use any of the apps. They are all pretty slow, and pulling out my phone is easier. Fitness is the only app I have in glances outside of battery and music controls.
I hope they do. One would think that this would be one of the faster apps, since the information being pulled isn't necessarily that data intensive.
Has anyone else had issues with it not loading at all? It continuously sits there synching on my watch. Because of that, none of the customizable widgets on my watch faces that use weather will display.
couple things
I think there are a couple things at play here.
1, the app is slow
2, many use the "current location" function, so any query for the info (all of which has to come from the phone) has to enable location services for the weather, confirm location, get weather, ship that info and all the canned info to the watch.
3, many have the app settings to enable location "only when in use" and the location services may not be getting location info regularly, so it's an on demand ad-hoc get, which slows down #2 even more
