      @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.

                        @ivo the Apple Watch app is fantastic. I’ve been a windy user for years and recently got an Apple Watch. While the compass showing your live orientation is neat, I would find it more practical if the orientation was able to be locked to north at the top of the Watch screen. Thank you again for your awesome work!

                                Absolutely beautiful addition to the iwatch series 6 running watch os 8.1 forcast data all in place. Really steady scroll speed through the times and days touch each time to give you in depth data ! would love to see an animated map on the iwatch with precipitation and wind direction. one that you could zoom in with the cown wheel Finally would love to be able to change the text colours within the appor maybe you can but havnt found it yet . Big respect to the developers for their hard work.

                                    I just wanted to drop a note here that I LOVE the new Apple Watch complication that shows a 5 day forecast in a large complication!

                                        Hi. Have been using Windy for years travel off shore and have never been caught out. Thank you Windy😁.
                                        Only just found out about the watch app and love it. I think l have it all sorted however l am not sure how to add the Windy watch face. When l go to watch face on the watch and click that l get forecast watch face then scroll down and get add Apple Watch face then nothing happens. I am probably missing something obvious. But can you assist
                                        Many thanks

                                          @nick-thonemann Hello, you should see the available Windy Watch faces directly in the Apple Watch app. Can you share a screenshot?

                                          However, Watch Faces are supported from Watch +4, older versions do not support them.

                                            @korina I too don't see an Watch Face in the Face Gallery (IOS 15.3, Watch 8.3). The Windy complication only provides "Show App on Apple Watch" in its preferences. In my iCloud account, Windy.com is listed as the most recently updated app and includes the phrases "Radar view for Apple Watch" and "New WatchFace". version 33.1.1.8. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is :)
