My apple watch wont show the weather and requires iphone app

I got an apple watch and while attempting to set up the weather app and putting in my location it says "weather requires iphone app. To use this app on your apple watch, the iphone app for weather needs to be installed on (null)." While the app is on both my iphone and watch, how do I fix this?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9

General bad behaviour

First force restart it

i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

 

Then Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

 

If that is no help

 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

and then

Set up your Apple Watch

 If no better you may want to unpair then set up without restoring the backup.

You may also want to make sure the software on the watch is up to date.

Update your Apple Watch

 

If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.
