Get location from phone to show the right weather forecast

This is rather a feature request than a bug. Not sure where I should report it though, as it influences how the weather forecast feature is being used. 

I experience this almost every other week: I return from a weekend outside 100 kms away and the watch still keeps that distant location as a base for a weather forecast. So the forecast is wrong especially when going back from mountains. 

The phone locates itself pretty accurately with WiFi/GMS signal. Can the phone just pass the location to the watch instead of the watch needing to acquire the GPS signal manually?

Note that user might not even know he's getting a forecast for a different location.

    tldr; 

    Is there any API that could get me position by using phone (assuming ble connection) not by getting fix from GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO ?



     I need to know location to the lets say district level, and for such purpose getting location from the phone would be ideal. Getting fix for from the GPS takes too long or some users are trying to do that indoor - which costs me pretty poor reviews.

    I guess if connect app can handle making http calls it should be also able to deliver location on behalf of watch APP - that API would be really helpful
