Apple Watch Ultra 2 Weather Widget Displays Incorrect Location and Temperature When Disconnected

Marin Mitrev

Hey team,

I would like to report a bug. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 shows random data when losing connection to the phone.

iOS: 17.6.1 (latest)
watchOS: 10.6.1 (latest)
Windy: 42.5.5

I absolutely understand that by losing connection to the phone, the watch cannot get live weather data, but at least it should show cached data maybe?

I live in Malta and when the connection is lost - it for some reason detects my location as Praha with totally random numbers:
Praha

Expected behaviour: show cached data, and put an (!) icon somewhere that the data is outdated?

Best,
Marin

@Marin-Mitrev Hi, you are right about this and we keep last data from mobile device for 8 hours, then we display this preview data, you saw.

@Suty this doesn't seem the case for me.
I go swimming daily and this happens every day. Total time I spend disconnected is around 1 maximum 2 hours.

Tho the 'preview data' is obviously wrong (and also for obvious reasons), imho - that its still weird user experience having random data(including the location) shown on the display.

BR,
Marin
