Weather complication doesn't update on Galaxy Watch 7

[landale]

I've had my Galaxy Watch 7 for a week and the weather complication never updates unless I manually refresh the weather in the weather app on my watch. I never had this issue on my Galaxy Watch 6 so this must be a new bug with One UI 6. 

If it helps I have location permission set to always on for both the weather app on my watch and my wearable app on my phone. I have automatic refreshing set to every hour. I'm using this watch with a Google Pixel 8 so I wonder if this bug is only with non Galaxy phones as it doesn't seem widely reported.

Same problem for me, the weather doesn't update automatically and when I do it manually it takes a long time. But how long does it take Samsung to release the fixed app?

Same annoying issue here with a Pixel phone. If the solution is to get a Galaxy phone then I'll likely do like the others and get a different brand for the watch next time...

Same with Pixel 9 and watch 7

Can´t believe this issue is still going on. First Galaxy Wearable that I purchase and simple things like this can´t work properly. Samsung, what the **bleep** are you doing about this?

How many customers is Samsung willing to lose before fixing this issue.  Amazing.  Galaxy watches are great but many of us are losing faith they care about people willing to spend good money on their watches that don't own a Samsung phone. Samsung, please fix this issue.  It will go a long way to restore faith in your commitment to people willing to pay a premium price on your watches.  Many of us have multiple Samsung watches.

Same here Galaxy watch 5 pro running ware os 5 and the  weather app hasn't  auto updated since ware os 4 where it worked flawlessly.

Another Pixel 9 and watch7 user here.

Any solution?

Get a different watch. That's what I did. Quite happy with one plus watch 3

I "fixed" this by setting a rule in the Automate app, that kills the "Galaxy Watch7 Manager" app every hour.

The app restarts itself after being killed and the weather data are refreshed.

This is a low-key genius suggestion. Thanks @prew. I'm going to try this with my GW6 Classic to see if it works. Google Weather is a poor work around at best because of the lack of complication integration like others have mentioned. There is also no option to specify an auto-refresh rate for it, so who knows when it actually refreshes.

Edit: Yes, this is still an issue in April of 2025. GW6 Classic w/Moto Razr 2024

Edit 2: I was also able to successfully create a loop with Automated that kills the Galaxy Watch 6 manager every hour, which forces the weather to refresh automatically every hour.
