anyone else experiencing this?

Since I updated to WatchOS 26, the weather complication is acting all weird.

When I try to add the compilation in the middle on my watch, it isn't even listed as a complication I can add...

Should be after Wallet.

I did add it through the iPhone app, but now when I go back in, the only option is "Off"...

Though I had just added it earlier and it had conditions, temp, humidity, etc. But now as you see "Off" is the only thing I can select.

As I'm writing this post, the conditions then showed up on my watch but then disappeared.

Am I missing something? Maybe I'm doing it wrong lol.
 
Now here's the app showing Weather should be on the watch in the middle, but it's not actually on the watch...

and now here's the Weather section just not showing up at all anymore...

I suspect this is related to what we have been discussing in another thread where stock apps (in my case I've noticed calculator, shortcuts, weather at times) disappear and sometimes reappear without explanation. When Weather comes back it triggers the location access prompt too I find. It looks like your Weather app has uninstalled itself meaning the complications are unavailable.

oh nice, thank you. Yep looks like my same issue.

I see you said you did Erase content and settings... I'll try that if my issue keeps happening.
 
This was happening to me like crazy the first day I got my AWU3. Every now and then when I open the Apple Watch app on my iPhone, it acts like no complications are available. What a bug...

Did you setup your U3 as a restore or as new?
I had to in-pair/re-pair during my migration of my 17PM and then noticed weird behavior with watch faces, then on Saturday I decided to in-pair/re-pair my U2 again but this time made sure I was setting it up as new. Didn't notice any issues going that way

Both initially - my first day I failed to pair 9 times - then it finally paired, none of the complications were working so I set it up as new and swore I was still having problems - after letting it sit for awhile, boom started working. But I wasn't paying attention super well so that may have been the fix as you mentioned.
