Unable to invoke widgets from hot key in app.

I'm guessing it's due to where the FW is catching those and what can be overridden and what can't

It turns out this facility may not be as useful as hoped. When I open a widget from the hot key in my app (or yours) it warns

"Weather Radar START to view. (Hike 2+  will be stopped)", and exits the before starting the widget.

It must be something about the widget accessing a single-use resource? The Weather Radar uses the GPS.

That's because it's a CIQ widget and not a native widget.  It's all about memory - trying to run a CIQ widget along with a CIQ device app.

So does the CIQ widget run in the same "memory pool" as the CIQ app?  

That's a great disappointment in a watch designed in the 21st century!

You'll also see that it wont show a CIQ watch face when you use widgets while in a CIQ app, or in a native app if you have a CIQ data field.  You can;t run 2 CIQ apps at the same time.

So it's not just:

, we wouldn't be able to run even a tiny CIQ widget from the Hot Key from a tiny CIQ app.

It's that we can't run two CIQ apps, widgets or watch faces together at all. 

It makes me wonder why the facility was even offered to us in the first place!
