weather widget not updating current weather status hourly

Hi all

I have a fenix 6 sapphire.

The weather widget does get its daily and hourly forecasts but the current weather condition can sometimes take 4 hours before updating.

Of course you are a drama queen. After your bad experiences with Vivoactive HR, Vivosmart 3 and 4 you bought a Fenix 6X Sapphire and keep on permanently complaining/whining. Maybe you should see that you…

I am accused here on the forums that I am a "drama queen" if I say that for a 1K USD witch this is not what should be.

I would really like to use, but not that way....it‘s more fighting the glitches as actually using it.....

I’m having the issue that the hourly weather doesn't come up, only the daily weather.

Cristu, try uninstalling the app from the watch via Garmin Connect and sync, then reinstall it and sync again. That worked for me about a week ago but now I still don’t have the hourly weather.

I never understood why it’s so hard for Garmin to get a feature to work, especially one that they make critical for factors such as heat acclimatization. What a joke.

That sounds like unfair judgement to me.

The premium price it's reasonable to expect this weather feature to work. I'm o. Android 12, Fenix 6X waiting for data....

Still happening for me as well. Seems the only time the widget updates is when I actually open the Connect app! Seriously??? Was considering the Epix 2 but will just keep Fenix 5 for time being. I did find a setting in my iPhone were background processes for the app are confined to when using app. I set to Always Allow so determine if that might have been the problem but so far doesn't seem to have worked. Such B$!

So I was about to start same thread... The default weather widget is not showing anything that makes sense. I also installed the OWM Weather and it updates properly when I sync with the phone. So I have these two widget near each other, one showing 3 Celsius and the other 14 Celsius (real). I guess no solution?
