I don't understand why Garmin have limited some api or functions. For example I can't read always the pressure value, the widgets can't work in background when they aren't displayed, etc with this features we would be able to create better applications than garmin' s applications (such as storm alert that not work fine in fenix3 or display the pressure also on watch faces)....
They actually had a feature (for one release) that allowed you to schedule your app for wakeup at a later time. Unfortunately it had some issues and was removed from the SDK. You can see a bit of it remains in the documentation (see here). I'm pretty sure it is something that they're planning to bring back, but not yet.

Hi Travis and thank you for answer. The wakeup the application is a great feature and I hope that Garmin will insert it again into a next sdk. Do you know why the developers can't access to the pressure value and why can access to others value such as altitude? Why there is this limitation for pressure? Thank you

watchface are very limited in what they can access directly. It's often just the last data from a recorded activity in Activity.info. And it's all about the battery! :)
Other apps types can easily access current pressure and altitude (as well as the HW compass and things like the Tempe sensor). (pressure on devices with a baro Altimeter, and elevation (GPS or Baro) on other devices), and Tempe if one is paired..
You may just want to look at doing things that aren't watchfaces.. Like this.. It's a watch-app that displays the Temp from a Tempe and the real time pressure on the va-hr that has baro..
Yesssss I know these applications but I would like to read these values into watchfaces  Ok, the developers can't access directly to some datas for battery.... but into Garmin's watchfaces you can display also the pressure arrow and this means that they read the pressure value... Why the developers can't do this? 
The developers can access to all sensors (or nearly so) but not to the barometer and then to the pressure. I think that this limitation with the widgets wake up are most important for developers (and also for Garmin if want to insert into his store new and good apps).
