Inaccurate weather data on Fenix 8

Hi, I use Toybox.Weather to read the weather data on all of my watch faces. A user of Fenix 8 reported that the weather is not accurate, there are 1 or 2-degree differences between the watch face and the weather widget.  The user also confirmed that all the CIQ watch faces have the same issue on his watch. He tried to restart the watch but it didn't fix the problem. Would you please advise?

Thank you.

    I live in the US, so I convert the temp from C to F on a regular basis.  Even when the temp in C was a Number, the proper conversion to F results in a Float, so I've always handled Floats.

    What I do is I always display one decimal point, which is fairly common - even my wall clock that displays the room temp shows a decimal point, as do the temperature sensors I use with my weather station.

    If you do this, your app would show a more accurate value than what you see with the standard widget.

    Maybe it's just me, but if the temperature is 99.9 I want to see that instead of 100, as hitting 100 is a common milestone.  And 32.4 isn't freezing - close, but still a bit above that.

    Something to consider....

    When you get the temperature on many devices, it's a Float.  Your screen shots show 2c and 3c, which could just be a difference based on how you display that Float.
