API docs incorrect? Toybox.Weather not available as it should on API level 3.2.0

This is my first Garmin widget, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding the API docs or the compatibility page.

According to the compatibility page, the Garmin Forerunner 645 Music has API level 3.2.0 - https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/compatible-devices/

I then try to use the Toybox.Weather API, which should also be available from 3.2.0 - https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Weather.html

but when I run my code in the simulator(using 645 Music), I end up with a crash(on line 27) because Toybox.Weather is not available as expected.

Am I misunderstanding things?

Use the API doc in the SDK and look at Supported Devices for Weather. The 645/645m along with the fenix5 and 5+ don't have weather. Not all devices with 3.2.x have it.

So there is a API level, in this case 3.2.0, which the devices support... But they only implement a subset? That's... Surprising...

Not at all. There are a number of API calls only supported on some devices, even if they have the needed API level. Always check the API level as well as supported devices.
