Apple Watch resetting to New York and Cupertino

It keeps happening with my Ultra watch and iPhone SE (2020). I've noticed it happens when my watch dies and reboots, the weather defaults back to Cupertino. I've completely removed everything but my local town from my phone weather app, and my settings are to sync watch weather with phone, but without fail once the watch reboots it goes back to the Cupertino default.

Mine does the same thing since the last update. Shows NYC and Cupertino, then fixes itself, then breaks itself again. I don’t think the device version matters. I have a 13 phone and 5 on the watch. I was hoping it was fixed but it just changed back again after weeks or working fine.

I have the same issue, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and watch s7. All ios are utd, and after installing 9.2, the watch doesn’t charge to full on a 3rd party qi charger, and when I restart the watch, the weather resets to NYC and Cupertino. A temp fix: Opening and interacting with the weather app on the phone resets and corrects the weather display on the watch. Hoping a patch comes through soon.

So glad I found this post - thought this was a unique problem to my iPhone iWatch combo. Incredibly annoying and very surprised this hasn't been addressed. This must be happening to thousands of users and they're just living with it. Hopefully we get a permanent fix for it soon!

This happens to me too. Sometime in the last few months the Apple OS has Cupertino and New York upon a reboot of the watch. It ignores what is set on your phone via mirroring or if you delete Cupertino or New York on the watch they will come back after a watch reboot. It is some hardcode in their watch boot up. The developer probably had that in the code in QA and they forgot to remove it before promoting the code to Production. It is very annoying. Apple testing team should have caught it by now since it has been there for months.

For me it has nothing to do with a reboot. Every morning the weather cities are Cupertino and New York, I delete New York and magically Chicago has replaced Cupertino next time I select weather. None of the other cities on my phone sync up, mirror function does not work.

What a total embarrassment Apple. No excuse for this - FIX IT!!!

I fixed mine by going thru these steps Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Weather and set the location permission to Always. Toggle on Precise Location. . Hopes this helps

Is there any update on this? I am getting really tired of this issue on my apple watch7.

Also having this issue. I have done almost everything to troubleshoot, just like the OP.

Yes, this is when my started—after a dead battery and then reboot.

Press the widget on your phone until it shows an x in the corner. Press again it will say “edit widget”. Press “edit widget” and change the weather location.
