Google Weather has now stopped working on the original Pixel Watch and other devices due to a bug.<\/p>\n<p>Update 12\/15: As of Monday morning, Google has fixed this issue and the Weather app shows the temperature again. This is a server-side fix rather than an app update. If you\u2019re not seeing forecasts yet, try restarting your watch.<\/p>\n<p>Original 12\/12: Opening Google Weather today results in a \u201cLoading\u2026\u201d screen that then switches to \u201cCan\u2019t download weather data.\u201d There\u2019s a \u201cRetry\u201d button, but you\u2019ll be stuck in a loop.
