Hi, I just got a Galaxy Watch 7 but am struggling with the weather app. I don't have a Samsung phone & so wanted to change the data source for where my watch gets it's weather from (I can't add a location for the built in Samsung weather as I don't have the Samsung weather app & I can't find a download to add it to my phone).
I downloaded a different Weather app onto my watch, I can swipe through to see it & it shows the weather all fine but how do I get the watch face complications to take the data from this new app that works & not from the Samsung weather app that doesn't work? I've tried several things I've seen online but nothing works so far. Any help much appreciated.

Hi, thanks. I do have the Wearable app downloaded, I've made a ton of changes or additions to my watch already, about the only thing I can't do is change my watch face weather to my other weather app (or find how to add location to the built in Samsung one). If I go into the Wearable app, open the Apps section, scroll down to my 2 weather apps, the only options I'm given is force stop, delete or open. There's no further settings option to set a location or set as my preferred app, there's no add to complication list, no ability to add a tile of my preferred weather app (every time I try to add a new tile the only weather option is the Samsung one). All I want is for the watch face to take the info from my other weather app but I can't find the settings options to do that, not in the app or on the watch itself. This is a screenshot of my weather app as listed in the Wearable app with what options I'm given.

It's the Google Weather app so I assumed it did.

I should just add this isn't like a make or break situation, I've got my watchface with the vital info I need/want on it, having the weather would be a nice addition but it isn't utterly necessary. I'm ok with having to go find the app & open it but just got into a mindset where because I know it is possible to do, I want to know how to do it, running out of ideas is a bit frustrating. Lol

It's broken actually, since the OneUI 8 update. I hope Samsung will do something about it asap... I'm tired of struggling with almost everything because I don't have a Samsung Phone. And no, breaking more features every day won't make me buy a Samsung phone, but it will make me start thinking about selling my watch and buying a non-Samsung one instead...
