I live in Providence, R.I....yet the Apple Watch keeps pulling up weather for "South Atlantic Ocean" as the default location.

It makes zero sense because I can't even search for that in the normal weather app. Also I wouldn't be located in the South Atlantic. When I restart the watch, it stays as Providence for maybe a half our or so then reversts back. This also seems to be killing the battery at about 10% an hour which is awful . I used to put the watch on the charger with 30-40%, and I've already had to charge it twice today.

Anyone else have this weird glitch? Beta 2 can't come soon enough because I can't downgrade. As goes the life of a developer with beta software.

Had same exact issue (also couldn't get Contacts to sync). Was resolved after re-pairing.

If you look up 0.0N, 0.0W on google maps, it shows as a spot to the west of Africa in South Atlantic so the bug probably has something to do with no GPS location.

I too have had variations of this problem.

Weather sometimes shows the correct temperature, yet the location title says South Atlantic Ocean. Other times it works correctly. Finally sometimes, it just says South Atlantic and no weather information.

Hello Thinkr,

Same issues here with South Altantic Ocean and battery.

I wouldn't bother re-pairing, as the issue is ever present.

Just like you, waiting for beta 2...

Fixed the battery issue it seems by putting it in Power Reserve mode for 5 minutes or so, then rebooting back into normal. Been about 16 hours and I've experienced the normal battery use that I had come to expect from 1.0.1
