Weather widget broken on my Forerunner 255 after update a few days ago.

5860171 4 days ago

Ever since the most recent update, it appears my Weather widget on the 255 glances is broken. Its stuck in "Waiting for Data"

I have the most recent update 22.22

I have tried the following with no success:

Going outside and updating via GPS

I have location permission for the Connect app on All the time,. Battery optimization off, and its running in the background(Samsung)

I have tried going outside and starting an activity with GPS

I have forced stopped the connected app, cleared cache and data

I have uninstalled and reinstalled connect app

I toggled bluetooth on and off

I have restarted phone and watch

I have unpaired watch from Connect and re-paired it.

None of these things have fixed it. I don't want to factory reset the watch as all lose body battery and any other data.

Anyone else having this issue? Anything I can do to fix it? I'd really like to have the weather working.

Any help I would be grateful. Thanks

I had the same issue on my 965 (iOS) also late yesterday and this am.

It seems to be ok now , although I am not sure what made it work again.

One thing you havent done is "reinstall software" on the watch I'd try that before a reset and see if it helps. Go to Settings , About , press light button 8 times then select Reinstall Software.

I also toggled the location setting conditions in the GC app incase that triggered something.
