Outside Weather Temp

Former Member over 8 years ago

Does anyone understand how the outside weather temperature is supposed to work ? My temp is showing 10 degrees less than what my weather app shows on phone. It's showing 41 and my phone 51 , same location ??
I've tried syncing again but no change. I have the latest updates on phone and watch, two different weather apps say 51 and 52.

Does it go off current location or the location where I live ?

It's reading the correct temp where I set it up , home, but 10 degrees less at current location

I think it'll just show wherever it got the last GPS fix. Try setting the clock by GPS which will force it to get a GPS signal, or go into an activity an wait till you get GPS lock, see if that then gives you the correct temperature for your current location.

Just tried that but didn't work, still reads 41.

I just noticed that on the first page of weather on the watch it shows 41. When I go to the next page in weather by hitting the start button , it shows 51, the correct temp , strange..

From what i a can gather, the first page is home temp, the second is current location. If I look at it this way it's right on..

Click on the this link and check out the UW Widget. It uses the Weather Underground, and will use the nearest station (press menu and and there is an option for that), or you can enter a specific station with app settings.

The part about getting an API key is shown with screen shots on my facebook page (in my sig) and was done on Feb 7th.
