Location, weather and settings

For local weather, tides and Golden Hour, use a saved city or a location saved with permission in Ambient Time. Open the watch app with a connection to refresh its weather and tide data. Apple controls widget refresh timing.

The watch app receives saved Ambient Time settings from your iPhone. Which settings apply varies by widget; there is no separate settings editor for each placed widget. World Moments rotates through a built-in city collection, and Word Phrase uses English phrases.

Moon Phase, Word Phrase, World Moments and Compliment work offline. Poetic keeps its date-based text without weather; Golden Hour can calculate its solar window from a saved location.
