      @krisjohntwin Hi, for now, we wanted to release at least this Beta version, but there are plans to improve the app and offer more from Windy.com.

          Good Day,

          Garmin Venu 3S.
          Settings:

          • 3-hours Forecast
          • ECMWF
          • Show complications bar ON
          • Use Default Location OFF

          Found my location fine.
          Seems to be showing proper units.
          Wind speed doesn't quite match exactly what I see on the website (Premium 3h selected)
          Temperature doesn't quite match exactly what I see on the website (free version)

          End of my location name and 2100h forecast tile are cut off (6h,9,12,15,18,21)

          4-Day forecast mode
          End of my location name and title of 4th day is slightly cut off.

          Hope that's helpful! Very cool to see you folks release this upgrade to Garmin devices - I've seen a lot of requests for it! Well done!

            I’m really excited about this. But unfortunately my Venu SQ2 isn’t supported yet. Is there any chance this will be supported?

              Guys, this not an app, it's a watchface. I am totally happy with my current watchface on my Fenix 8. I really like windy and would love to use it. Please publish it as a proper app....

                Any chance of adding Descent 2 / 2i to the list of compatible devices? It's just a Fenix with dive capabilities, so should be able to work.

                  @3william56 @windy-an @marksit More devices could be added, but some devices are not possible for their technical limits, Garmin FR945 for example. Please be aware that this is a kind Beta version and more will be added in future.

                    @Wheats Hello, we will investigate the accuracy of the forecast. Regarding the cut-offs, this is limitation of general design for many types of devices. Since Garmin provides huge variety of resolutions, designs and shapes od displays we want to offer the most general solution.

                      @geoffmurray5955 Hi, you are right about this, but we don't see much potential in the Windy.com app for Garmin watch, since these apps don't have that much popularity on these devices. However, we want to add more features in the near future.

                          Will more watch models be compatible with this after the beta? Would love to use this on my instinct 2

                            @Lure @Fabien-M-3 Hi, it is possible to add some devices later, but I can't promise your specific devices.

                                    Thank you for creating watchface. I think that with a few improvements it will be the best.

                                    1. The battery drains too quickly.
                                      If turn off the complication option, It can only update the time by clipping it once a minute.

                                    2. As a way to reduce battery consumption, I don't think there is a need to communicate with the server too often. You need an option to adjust the server connection frequency, such as once an hour or once every 30 minutes.

                                    3. If I turn off the complication option on the enduro3 model,
                                      an empty space will be created and the hour number will not grow to fill it.

                                    As a Garmin user, I installed the windy watchface and became a fan.!! Please fix it!

                                          Dang, not compatible with my Venu (1). That sucks.

                                            installed windy on my Garmin. Absolutely love it but for some reason it stopped updating. when I hit "start" to GPS update it returns "Download Failed."
