Hi All,
I am unable to find a thread on this but I cannot be the first to ask.
I can display weather on the watchface. But I would also like to display the location of that weather data. Name of town rather then Lat/long.
Any ideas if this is possible?
Thanks
Oliver
Sorry, how do you display the weather?
You can achieve this by adding a ‘long text complication’ and leaving the ‘default provider’ empty. The element ‘long text’ of the ‘long text complication’ shows the location of the weather data, provided that once the watch face is installed on your watch you select weather as the provider of this complication (in the app on your phone).
Hi Peter, thanks for coming back to me. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for me.
I get a weather icon, weather description (cloudy, sunny etc) and temperature.
@ads7112 peter2’s reply explains how to do it. its pretty easy.
@ollsbols: that’s really weird. On my watch (Galaxy Watch 5 Pro) the location is displayed. I have only the long text displayed; the icon, image and long title are hidden. I cannot imagine that hiding the latter elements would make any difference.
Is location on your phone enabled for weather? Do you have a Samsung phone? That could make a difference.
Sony phone and TicWatch Pro3 Ultra. However the Weather app on the watch is WearOS. I suspect as it is not WearOS 3 the data is not included in the message. Perhaps I will find out if the update ever happens. Thanks for your time anyway.
I know this is an old post, but I’ve been using this method successfully on my Galaxy Watch 4 for over a year. It recently updated to One UI 6.0 and this method no longer seems to work. I’ve used each of the text and title options but none of them seem to show location any longer.
Would appreciate any new information regarding how to get location to show up in One UI 6.
Thanks.
Line complication (leave only this short text option, delete all other options):
Upload to watch, choose WEATHER for complication and you’ll get location.
Hello. Now I am also interested in this question. I’ve tried all your suggestions and options, and I’ve changed the values in different ways. It doesn’t work! Location (city name) It doesn’t show. Title is always empty. Text - shows the weather icon (cloud, snow, sun) and the weather number (6C). I changed it in different ways, leaving only one thing, or only the text, or only the Title. …
I also noticed that in Line, SmallBox, and LargeBox, there is no default Weather option. There are others, Heartbeat, Footsteps, and others…
Therefore, I have not found a solution to make the weather display on the dial by default, without the ability to change it. You have to leave the complication free, and only select the weather display on the clock.
Doesn’t anyone know?
In Large Box Complication, select the 5th, the very last block (Long Text, Long Title, Icon, Image). Remove the rest. In this case Long Title will show the location, and Long Text will show the weather, temperature.
It’s a real magic.)) Works. Now I know how it can be used with different combinations. Thank you very much. I tried almost all combinations with complications, but I didn’t manage to get to the 5th block of the Large Box Complication.)))
