Why does my Apple Watch act weird when I wake up?

Right after I turn off the alarm and sleep focus, it used to show today’s weather (and some other stuff I can’t even remember), but now the screen just stays black :pensive:. Anyone know how to fix this?

Maybe because you’re the boss now, M.

This joke was exactly what was missing in the middle of the night :joy:

There’s probably a tiny James Bond trapped inside your watch.

Haha, that was my first thought too.

Yeah, same thing happening here…

Had the same issue. But after updating to WatchOS 11.1, it seems to be back to normal.

I’m on 11.1 too, and I even tried a factory reset :pensive:.

What’s wrong with your watch, M?

Do you have a photo of how it used to show the weather? I switched from Garmin, and I miss the old morning report. Someone here suggested setting a different focus mode for wake-up with a custom watch face showing sleep data and weather. Works like a charm for me now.

@Sloan
Nah, it stopped showing up over a year ago… Didn’t think to take a photo of it back then :slightly_smiling_face:.

Same issue on my end.

Yeah, mine’s been doing this too.

I had the same problem. A reboot fixed it—press the crown and the side button together.

Does anyone still notice battery drain with sleep focus on? I lose around 20% after 6 hours of sleep.

It should still show the weather. Does it never appear, even if you wait a few seconds?

Mine does this too. Not every day, but often enough. It usually works right after the ‘Good Morning’ message. Maybe it’s just the watch being polite in the morning.

Guess your watch was tired too :joy:.

My watch never says good morning. Did I get the introverted model or something?

Do you have a sleep schedule? It only works if it switches in and out of sleep focus automatically.
