Please make it available for the Garmin Edge as well!

Great!
Are we to expect the same for android and iOS watches? Windy premium is an absolute solution for outdoor sports that depend upon force majeure. -
Windy for iOS and Android watches has been around for years! :)
-
We'd love to do that, and probably we will. There are so many limitations on Garmin devices, and it's also very time-consuming.

@David-Polášek
I keep my fingers crossed that you'll find a way to make it happen🤞🤞🤞 -
Hey @Kwirth we will.
-
Hi I can’t find your widget on the Garmin IQ, I searched for « Windy » and found nothing. Is your widget available for France?
Thanks -
@Nicole-Dolezalova do you have plans to implement forerunner 945 in your compatible list?
-
I was excited until realizing my Garmin 945 is not included. Sad.

@j-pecorino Hello, all our products are available worldwide, what might be the problem is that your smartwatch are not part of the compatible devices list. While we try to develop the apps for most of the devices, it's very unfortunate that with Garmin there are hardware limitations which are causing why your watch are not on the list. What model do you have? Have a nice day, Niki
-
@TeWiLe Good morning, if your device is not on the list, it's due to the technical hardware limitations and insufficient memory of your device which we are unfortunately unable to tackle and optimize our product for it. We are dearly sorry that you can't have Windy on your device at this moment - we always to suggest to use atleast mobile widget on your lock and home screen or see our widgets for watchOS and Wear OS as an alternative. Have a nice day, Niki

The quatix 5 is not on the list ??

The Quatix 5 is not on the list ??

@Avi-8 Good morning, unfortunately, no, and as I mentioned before, if your device is not on the compatible devices list, there likely are hardware limitations we are unable to overcome, which is the reason why you can't have Windy on your Garmin smartwatch. Have a nice day, Niki
-
@Nicole-Dolezalova
Is the quatix 8 capable to use it ? -
@Avi-8 Hello, yes, your device is supported.

Windy has been my favorite weather app on my Pixel phones for years. After installing it on my Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 I absolutely love it! I really like the design and functionality of the glance.
I just installed it so, the only thing that remains to be seen and it's going to determine if it stays on my watch is how much it drains the battery. I am always cautious when it says background access will drain battery faster. I will give it a fair try for a few months.
But right now, I think the design and information that provides are really nice.
Thank you for adding it to Garmin!
