Change Weather City on Apple Watch - Easy Guide

Customizing the Weather Complication on Your Apple Watch

Complications on the Apple Watch serve as a means to display diverse information and provide swift access to applications. The iPhone’s Weather app offers a complication designed for various watch faces, including Modular, Utility, and Simple styles.

Initially, the Weather complication showcases the weather conditions for a single, pre-selected city. However, this default city can be altered directly from your iPhone. This process is initiated by opening the “Watch” application on your Home screen.

Accessing Weather Settings

Ensure that you are currently viewing the “My Watch” screen within the Watch app. If not, simply tap the “My Watch” icon located at the screen’s bottom.

Next, within the “My Watch” screen, select the “Weather” option.

On the “Weather” screen, tap on “Default City”.

Note: The city presently designated as the default for the Weather complication will be displayed alongside the “Default City” label.

Changing the Default City

A list of available cities will appear on the “Default City” screen. Scroll through this list and tap the city you wish to set as the default.

If the desired city is not present, it can be added to the Weather app on your iPhone. The following steps detail how to accomplish this.

Adding Cities to the Weather App

Begin by tapping the “Weather” app icon on your iPhone’s Home screen.

Within the “Weather” app, locate and tap the list button situated in the lower-right corner of the screen.

This action will display a comprehensive list of all cities currently included in the app. To add a new city, tap the plus icon found in the lower-right corner.

A text field will appear. Begin typing the name of the city you want to add. As you type, a list of matching cities will populate below the text field. Select your desired city from this list by tapping on it.

The selected city will then be added to your list of cities.

The newly added city is now available for selection as the default city for the “Weather” complication on your Apple Watch.

Viewing Multiple Cities & Third-Party Options

While the Apple Watch can display weather information for only one city at a time via the complication, you can easily cycle through the weather for all added cities within the Weather app itself. Simply swipe left or right to navigate between locations.

The row of dots at the bottom of the screen indicates the number of cities you’ve added, and an arrow shows your current location.

Furthermore, you have the option to incorporate third-party complications from alternative weather applications available through the “Watch” app.
