can you check if your weather widgets whose default location is set to ''current location'' on the smart stack is working properly now ? i hope you didnt encounter the ''loading weather'' message on the smart stack weather widget
is your default location for weather set to ''current location '' ? if so , can you please check if the weather widget on smart stack is working properly and not saying ''loading weather'' anymore ? this is the only bug remaining on my device for now
Yeah the location reset fixed it. oddly enough the rain complication has worked since then too.
Only pain is i have to grant permission to everything I open on the iPhone now. I wish the location permissions could have been reset for the watch only.
10.0.2 did not fix the weather complication issue on my S9.
Now we have confirmation Apple is aware of the problem...

The first option didn't work for me. There is also still no option for "current location" in Settings > Weather > Default City.
If I do the section option, "Reset Location & Privacy", I guess that's going to clear all of the iPhone's settings for apps' permissions to access photos, camera, microphone, contacts, reminders, health ... ? I think it will and I have a lot of options set across a lot of apps, so maybe I'll just wait and see if the next update fixes it before having to waste the time doing that.

Sunrise and sunset is now working in mine. Weird how the update has worked for some and not for others.
I think authorizations are corrupted for a lot of apps when you notice this minor problem with weather.
Not sure an update can fix that without resetting this.
Make it. This is the only way in this time to get „current location“ back in your settings.
And it works.
If the complication shows sunset/sunrise display --/--, then the following steps will help me for some time:
1. Double-click on the crown and close the world clock app
2. Activate the WLAN on the watch. The iPhone and watch do not need to be connected to an actual Wi-Fi network
3. Start the World Clock app and exit the app
The Sunset/Sunrise complication will then appear again.
4. Switch off WiFi again.
This helps for a while, but constantly turning on the WiFi cannot be a permanent solution. And not this way either...

It seems to be a problem in the smart stacks. I removed all the widgets and not only did I get the temperature on my watch face my battery usage is much less.
I’ll finish the experiment soon by adding back the widgets and seeing if the problem repeats.
A quick note: I tried many of the other things that are posted and they were only short term fixes. This has been working for 12 hours.

This Works, and doesn't mess with your other location/privacy settings!
Tried the other fixes on 2no watches and they start playing up after a short while......however did the above a couple of days ago and it has been fine ever since. Even after rebooting and traveling around to different locations.
