Google Weather for Wear OS breaks on original Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch

Google Weather for Wear OS stops working on the original Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch due to a bug.
Users see a perpetual Loading screen before the app shows 'Can’t download weather data.'
The issue affects all Wear OS devices, including Pixel Watch models and Galaxy Watch.
Google previously said Weather would work if installed before Wear OS 6, but new installs are blocked.
Pixel Weather remains available on newer Pixel Watch models (2, 3, 4).
The bug is likely server-side and may require a firmware update to fix.
Workarounds include third-party weather apps from the Play Store.
Google has not announced a fixed timeline for resolving the bug.
The report confirms the issue across Wear OS devices, undermining the built-in weather option.
9to5Google notes the knowledge of the problem and potential fixes in their coverage.
