    You can't access widgets from within a watchface. Some data is available (like step, daily calories, daily distance, etc) by using things in ActivityMonitor.

    Provide a link to the watchface where you saw the extra things you want, but likely it's things from ActivityMonitor, or things (like elevation) from Activity.

    Not from a watchapp either. For weather data, you can go out and get that from the internet with a widget or watchapp (makeJsonRequest() and makeWebRequest() ) and a data source for it on the net.

    How Use makeWebRequest

    How Can I used the instruction makeWebRequest, to obtain datas form a web of forecast weather and use the data of Temperature, rain posibility, cloudy, sunny or rainy day? I new with this code of program and I would like to learn about it and program my own App for the device Garmin.

    If anyone could write an example to use the instruction, I´d appreciate so much

    This can be as solution for you: We just released a service that enables secure communication between apps.  You can learn more at https://dacrosse.com

    dudes i am still stuck within this drama:

    i have a watchface, running on watches with rest support, yet no background support, like fenix3_hr.

    how can i possibly have data from rest services on my watchface?
    at first i thought i should make a widget to retrieve, so that watchface could use, but i know no means to make data interchangeable between botth apps (wf & widget).

    i'm troubled. plz help.

    You can only do Comm from a watchface by way of a background service.  Watches like the f3hr (it's CIQ 1.4) don't support background services, so you can't use that.  The current generation of watches, like the fr965 support complications, where a widget can do the comm and a watchface can subscribe to that data, but that won't help with the f3hr.

    There's no other way to share data between a widget and watch face.  Here's a bug report done by one of the Garmin people as really just a place holder as so many people were asking about it, but note, that it won't be implemented.

    please, then let me do the straight question, for good:

    there is definitely no way for watchface to show requested in ciq1.4?
