If you do not see your weather updating on your Fenix 6 series watch, please try the following steps:
1) Ensure your watch software is fully up to date and your Connect Mobile APP has been updated.
2) Open the Connect Mobile APP and sync your watch
3) Power your smartphone off and on
4) Power your watch off and on
If still an issue:
5) Step outside and acquire GPS with any outdoor activity
6) Hard Reset - with your watch on, hold down your power button until it shuts off (you will not lose any settings with this reset)
- Also, on all iPhones, due to how iOS works with the GCM APP, you must leave the Garmin Connect Mobile APP open on your phone to remain updated. This does not require you leave your phone unlocked or the APP running in the foreground. When you first sync each day, leave the GCM APP in the background in suspend with all of the other items you have on your smartphone. Do not force close it out.
Your smartphone settings are also an impact:
- Open the Garmin Connect app
- Select
(upper left corner) - Select Settings
- Select App Permissions
- Ensure Location is ON. If not, select Manage (right side in blue)
- Select Permissions
- Enable Location
- Tap the back arrow at the top left to back out and save these settings
- Power off and then power back on the Garmin device (where applicable), and sync it through the Garmin Connect app
NOTE: For optimal performance of the Garmin Connect app, ensure that all permission settings are set to on and location set to always for the Connect APP.
Apple
- Open the Settings menu on the phone
- Select Privacy
- Select Location Services
- Toggle on if needed
- Select Connect from the list of apps on the Location Services screen
- Ensure ALLOW LOCATION ACCESS is set to Always
- Power off and then power back on the Garmin device (where applicable), and sync it through the Garmin Connect app

For me personally and those I have reached out to, on our Fenix 6 watches, if we do not see the weather updated, we sync through the GCM APP and typically within 30-90 seconds, it will update and show the temperature properly again.
