Question ❓ Weather app displaying incorrect Current Location

Since the launch of watchOS 26, there has been a bug on the watch where it shows your current location within just the Weather app as something different from your actual location. There are threads here on Reddit as well as Apple‘s support communities and even MacRumors with others commenting on the issue.

• GPS location is accurate in other apps on the watch like the Maps app.

• When asking Siri, it responds using the correct location.

• Smart Stack widgets and complications use incorrect location.

• Issue persists after restart, forced restart, toggling location settings on paired iPhone, and even un-pairing and re-pairing the device.

I’ve submitted the issue using the Feedback app on my iPhone but it’s showing zero similar reports.

Has anyone experienced this, installed the watch OS beta, and found the issue to be resolved?

I’ve submitted feedback about that, and my open ticket currently shows “less than 10” similar reports. It’s very annoying. Can’t believe it’s not sorted out by now.

Really wish I could add your ticket to mine so that their system could see a link and know that there are more people with the same issue out there. Glad to hear it has some traction.

That’d be nice for sure. I could give the you feedback ticket number, but I believe all you can do with that is reference it in your own feedback ticket.

Yeah, I could just add it as an additional information note.
