[sgar75]

Hi there, i have just purchased the galaxy watch 7 and connected with the pixel phone 6a however i am having issues with the weather complication doesn't refresh automatically, i need to click on the complication, open the app and then refreshes manually. I have enabled all permissions on phone and watch, is there a bug? Thanks. Luca.

@sgar75 : While I'm not familiar with the Weather app on the Google Pixel 6a, you may wish to try opening the app, or tapping on the widget on your phone > Tap the 3 lines in the top left > Tap the cog in the top right > Auto refresh, and toggle this option on. Also, on your phone, please head to Settings > Apps > Weather > Notifications > Notification categories > Weather refresh > On. 

Please note that you will need to be connected to your phone via Bluetooth, and your phone will require an active Wi-Fi or Mobile data connection to refresh the weather forecast.

hi Andrew thanks for the reply, the issue is with the watch app not the phone...

@sgar75 : I understand. The user manual states that the Weather app on the Watch7 checks weather information for locations set on the connected phone, which is why my focus was on the Weather app on the phone itself. As stated, I'm not too familiar with the Weather app on Google Pixel devices, but I do recommend checking your settings via the phone app, to see if you're able to resolve your issue in this manner.

I changed all the settings but still nothing is updating, i am using Ultra Info Board face and i have another complication showing the next alarm intermittently disappears from AOD to wake watch...

I have the same problem. Weather doesn't automatically refresh on the watch face. I am using Galaxy Watch 7 and Google Pixel 7.

Hi there, as a workaround i downloaded Google weather app on the watch, allowed background activity and set it on the complication on the Ultra info board face. The only thing with that watch face is when AOD is enabled nothing refresh i guess to save battery...

It works. Thank you.

No worries

How did you set Google Weather App as the weather complication on the ultra info board face? Mine won't allow me to change from default weather app that came with the watch.
