Weather data from phone/wifi

Former Member over 7 years ago

I would like to know why the 935 cannot pull weather data from a phone for a data field on the main face. I switched to the 935 from Aple Watch for several reasons, and the only thing I miss (and miss a LOT) is putting the current temp—pulled from the phone data, not an internal sensor—on the main watch face. The watch face can pull sunset/sunrise, why not temperature?

Thanks! I think I might just be misunderstanding something.

Actually, there are some Connect IQ watch faces today that can do that (literally today, as yesterday with the 2.3.1 Connect IQ was released which allows this!)

Here's one, for example:

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/abc0fde3-23d3-4c8d-92ec-a2fd14aeab2f

(I'm still testing a couple with weather and haven't published them yet)

And BTW, sunrise/sunset is usually calculated on the watch using the date, lat, and lon, and not pulled from another source

Yay!

How funny - yes, there were some faces that came out the same day I posted this. I am running one now and I LOVE it. Thanks for the reply!:cool:

Wow, have been waiting for this a long time! What other watchfaces have this option?

I hope this means Garmin is not far behind in offering it as a data field in their stock watchfaces
