Hi Alan,
You can delete Cupertino from your native weather app on your phone by just
doing a 1-finger flick up to delete and tapping. Once you do that, it will no
longer come up on your watch.
Take care,
Lois

LOL, I selected the Mickey Mouse face. It shows the time with out the seconds
as the description says Mickey taps his foot to keep there seconds. I figured
I can't see him tap his foot so that probably wouldn't be showing the seconds
and I was right. So now I get the time and temperature and Cupertino too! LOL!
I wonder what it would show if I were in Chicago. LOL! Thanks so much for
your help. It's greatly appreciated.

As far as Cupertino, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this.
For some reason, some Apple devices focus on Cupertino when you are in the
Pacific Time Zone instead of your actual location. I have read articles where
other devices like iPads also do the same thing.
As far as the seconds displaying on your watch face, this is determined by
the clock face you have chosen. To change clock faces, just press down with
one finger when on your clock face. When the screen appears, you can flick
left and right through the different clock faces. When you have found the one
you want, first flick down with one finger and double tap on customize to
choose what complications you want to appear on your clock face. On the
complications screen, you can flick down on each complication to change it to
what you want each one to be, like current temperature, next calendar event,
battery level, and so on. Once you have your complications set, just press the
crown to go back to the clock face screen. You should land back on the clock
face you had chosen. Just flick down to activate to set your clock face and
land back on your clock face. Now everything should be as you just set it.
As far as being out of range of your phone, your time will still display.
You will just not get notifications, and some of your complications like next
calendar event and some apps on your watch might not work since they sync to
your phone to get the necessary information.
I hope all of this helps!! I learned a lot by listening to the AppleVis
podcast about the different functions of the watch.

'm slowly learning about my iWatch but then again, I'v only had it sense
Christmas. My watch keeps showing me the time in Cupertino. Lucky for me,
that's also the time in Las Vegas. However, I would like to ditch Cupertino
and replace it with Las Vegas. And lastly,somehow I'v enabled time to show
seconds I.E. 1239 and 49 seconds. How can I get my watch to ditch the seconds?
I don't need that much information. My wife just asked me to ask all of you
what happens for example if I left my phone home but put my iWatch on my wrist.
I said my guess is as soon as you got a certain distance from your iPhone,
your watch would disconnect. So I now have a question of my own. Would the
time still be displayed?
Thanks in advance and Happy 2016 to you all!

Hi Jenny,
I've found that the Dark Sky complication doesn't provide any accessible
information. I use the complication from the built-in weather app, which shows
the current temperature, but not precipitation. You have to go into the app to
see precipitation. I hope that helps.
Best,

Hi Anna,
Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed to admit that I am really struggling
with figuring out complications. LOL Maybe it’s just a little complicated for
me, or perhaps I am making it more complicated than it needs to be, but
regardless… <grin> I’m typically pretty decent at figuring this stuff out, but
for some reason, I’m just not getting it. So, I have definitely and
successfully selected my default location in the Weather app on my iPhone, and
weather is listed in “complications” within the Watch app on the phone, but I
can’t seem to figure out how to make it so that I can dial forward and backward
in time to see the progression in temperature. I did finally manage to somehow
get come complications to show on my clock face, don’t ask me how, but I’m not
sure how the watch decided which complications to show. There is one
displaying the temperature, but again, I can’t seem to figure out what I need
to do to make it so I can scroll forward and back.
Personally, I would love to get Dark Sky setup as a complication on my
clock face, which is supposed to show the temperature and rain percentages
throughout the day I believe, but I can’t seem to get it to show, even though
Dark Sky is listed in my complications on the Watch app. I’m so confused!! LOL
I think I need to find some sort of tutorial on complications. ;-)

Hi Jenny,
If you choose the temperature as one of the complications on your
watch, you can go to your clock face screen and turn the digital crown. The
time will advance, and complications like the temperature and calendar will
update with the time. Press the digital crown to have it return to the current
time.
I hope that helps.

Good day all. Like a few others on the list, I was also fortunate
enough to receive an Apple Watch for Christmas. Yeah, I know there will likely
be another one out later this spring, but given our run of bad luck with
various necessary home repairs and other unexpected expenses, I’m not going to
count on our having the funds available if and when that happens. Also,
because the thinking is that there will be a new version released early next
year, Best Buy had the Apple Watch Sport for sale at $100-off. So between the
watch and Apple Care, we only (laughs at the word “only”), paid around $300.
the savings was actually a big help to us right now.
Anyway, so far, I am in love! Understand, I went into this knowing
that the Apple Watch is not intended to be a replacement for my iPhone, but
rather, an extension for quicker and easier access to certain functions. I
have to admit, I am an iPhone addict, and I know it. :-) I am totally thrilled
about any device that will reduce the sheer number of times I have to pull out
my phone throughout the day, and so far, the Apple Watch has fulfilled that
wish. Although, it’s taking some time to simply “retrain” my hands and brain
to just leave the phone in my pocket, or even in a different part of the house,
because I don’t *need* it with me all the time anymore. I do want it close at
hand, but not necessarily “in” my hand 24x7. So, I am writing this for those
(like me), who may be looking for feedback on the Apple Watch before they buy
one for themselves.
Here are a few handy uses I have found for my own watch just in the
first few days of owning one. First, I absolutely *love* that any
notifications sent to my phone automatically get sent to my watch when I am not
currently using the phone. This means that any “breaking news” alerts from
CNN, NBC, WFAA, or whatever other news stations I follow pop up on the watch,
so that I don’t feel compelled to stop what I am doing and pull my phone out
every time I hear it go “ding.” <grin> I feel much less conspicuous “glancing”
at my watch real quick to check the notification rather than wedging the phone
out of my back pocket. It literally, takes me a fraction of the time to check
alerts now. This also includes weather and lightning alerts. I am very
dependent on lightning alerts in my area, and this is about the most effective
way of notifying me as I have seen yet. This was especially handy this past
Saturday when the EF4 tornado came ripping right by us. My watch was blowing
up with alerts, and I was thankful for it.
Quick and easy access to messages, Email and twitter. I have used
the messages function a *lot* already! I don’t typically use the pre-written
responses, but I like knowing they are there just in case. I use the dictation
feature instead, which for whatever reason, seems to be about 75% more reliable
at translating my audio to text than my phone. I haven’t played with either
Email or twitter much yet, but I have explored them just a bit. I’m not sure
if there is a way to view mailboxes separately or not, because on the two or
three occasions I have looked at it, it was displaying mail from all mailboxes
in one. This isn’t a big deal of course, just one of those “it would be nice”
things. As far as twitter, I am using Twitterific, and I haven’t quite figured
out how to see my normal twitter feed, assuming there is a way. It only showed
me my latest direct message. I think I just need to play with it some more
though.
Of course, viewing my various weather apps such as Dark Sky, is
very cool. I religiously use the timer and alarms, and I have used it for
making and receiving quick phone calls on the fly. Tracking my fitness via the
workout and activity apps has been neat, though I would love to learn more
about how it detects certain motions so that I can tweak my goals accordingly.
For my actual workouts, I prefer to use RunKeeper, which can also be quickly
accessed via the watch. It’s nice to just launch it, start it and go when I’m
ready. Sometimes it feels as if it takes forever to get things going on the
phone. One of the simplest and coolest functions I have played with yet, is
the ability to control my music that plays on my phone via the watch. It has
been 100% accurate so far on playing whatever artist, album, playlist or song I
have requested, and if I want to skip a song or replay the previous one, there
is no need to pick up the phone, the watch will take care of it for me when I
ask. Speaking of “simple” functions—One of the main reasons I keep my phone
with me at all times is because I would lose my head, if it weren’t firmly
attached to my neck. So, on those rare occasions I do happen to set my phone
down somewhere and can’t find it easily, I can now ping it with just a few taps
of the watch! Brilliant! :-) Oh yeah, and have I mentioned how awesome it is
to have a “timepiece” on my wrist again? To check the time so quickly and
handily is amazing. I have Timebuzz installed, and it’s function of indicating
the time by a series of vibrations is spot-on, I just wish I could figure out
how to make it more convenient to check the time using this app without having
to go through several steps first.
I have only had the watch for a few days of course, so I am sure
there will be much more fun ahead, once I figure out what I am doing for real.
<grin> I know there are still a number of functions or features I am not yet
aware of. For instance, someone here said there was a way to cycle the current
temperature forward and back using the crown dial on the side of the watch, I
would love to know exactly how to do this. It sounds great and very useful!
So that’s my own mini-review for now. I hope others are having
just as much fun with their watch as I have had so far. And for those more
experienced watch users, please feel free to keep sharing your tips and tricks!

Hi Nancy and list,
I love being able to read and reply to tweets, text messages
and email on my Apple watch. This is particularly great when I am in
a situation where taking out my phone is undesirable.
I use my watch to time activities and the alarm function to
keep me on track. It is a great time keeper.
Just recently, a watch app became available that allows one to
get the time presented in vibration patterns. This means that one
can silently check the time without disturbing others with
VoiceOver. The app is called Timebuz. There is a new app called iReg
which allows one to make audio recordings using just the watch.
Apple Watch is fully accessible with VoiceOver.
Good luck with your decision.
