Windy.com introduces Apple Watch app
-
I have been in touch with Apple Support who took me through
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network
Reset Location & Privacy
That looks like it has fixed it, and my iPhone now shows my correct new location. Windy on the watch then reasked permission to access my location but still shows the old location. It seems to have cached it once and for all? -
@antipole Hello, watch displays location according to GPS, you need to allow apple watch to get access to your GPS.

@kez77 Hi, Windy Apple Watch are compatible with 7.2 iOS or higher.
-
@antipole Hi, I would recommend to reinstall the Windy Apple Watch app and see if it makes any difference.

@ivo thanks for working on the Apple Watch app! I am a sailor, and I like the simple compass rose approach with the wind speed/direction. It would be helpful to see some forecast information, as all I see is “now” and typically being able to look a few hours into the future, for the watch app, would be beneficial (It’s fine to go below deck to look at the more detailed information on Windy on the iphone or ipad, but a simple look on the watch while at the helm would be great!) Also can’t seem to select another location - that would be good as well.
Thanks!Update…I found the forecast function (rotating the bezel), so the question is just related to selecting location. Thanks again!

@sumfun Currently, you cannot change a different location, but we will take it into account.

Just got an Apple Watch and enjoy the Windy update. I would love to see a Windy complication for some brief forecast information on a watch face. Maybe a near term hourly or forecast line graph for a larger complication or current temp or wind for a small complication that I can then tap on to see the full Windy app. Would love some of the Windy forecast information currently in an iOS widget available in the Windy app on the watch. Already a premium subscriber for 1hr forecasts but if the Apple Watch app and complication with these added features were a premium feature that is also something that would really be value added for me in keeping the subscription.

@ivo I have a Fossil Gen5 if that's worth anything. With Samsung's Tizen dead and Fitbit being acquired by Google please don't trash the idea completely
Edit: Samsung is talking to Google about switching to wearOS after ditching Tizen.

@ivo thank you very much for the Apple Watch App. That was the reason to become Premium Member to see 1 hour forecast. I am kitesurfing and that would be really useful at the beach to decide to stay, if wind forecast looks good or to go home :-)
Another important feature would be life wind measurements from nearest measurement point like in Windfinder app. -
@franky66 Thank you for feedback, we will definitely add more features to the Apple Watch app.
