Troubleshooting Apple Watch Weather Not Updating

If you are wondering why the weather won’t load on your Apple Watch, the first thing to do is check for updates on both your iPhone and on your Apple Watch. Next, try restarting your iPhone and Apple Watch. If your Apple Watch won't update, check out this article on how to fix it. Does the weather app look different than you're used to?

By allowing the Weather app to always access your precise location, you can ensure you are receiving the latest weather data for your area.
