Stripped down, barebones functionality, not worth it! it shows humidity, pressure, etc on the description screen but when you install it, none of that is available unless you subscribe for $1.13 MONTHLY to get that info. What a rip off! You can only update weather every 3-6 hours unless you subscribe. Every watchface i have will update hourly...and some of those are free. And it never did display the temperature for me! Refund requested. Terrible watchface....worst one Ive tried!
Not bad. Limited, but it fit what I wanted. However, after a few months, the watch battery indicator shows "??%" within minutes of the watch starting. I've contacted the app creator about the problem but received no reply.
If this is gonna be treated as abandonware, please open source the app so we can fix the issues ourselves. 2 of the 3 weather providers aren't working and the third is about to get taken down. A shame since this is one of the few watchfaces that don't sacrifice functionality for aesthetics.
Long time user, very impressed with this app. I have used this app ever since I first bought a moto360 and its constantly been growing and expanding in features and functionalities. Would highly recommend this to everyone.
The face keeps reacting to accidental touch which is annoying, and the option to turn off such tap reactions doesn't work (it won't stay on).
I've only just got this watch face and it's really good!! I do hope the developer creates the improvements that are shown as 'Coming Soon. That would make this great app even better..!
Nice simple 24hr sun dial with weather info. I spent a lot of time looking for these features. Too bad development is inactive.
I love this watchface, but I bought it back when I had a Samsung Gear Live. I recently upgraded to an Asus ZenWatch2 and cannot use this watchface, even though it runs off WearOS. Please let me know if there's something I can do to get back my favorite watchface
Got it to work with my TicWatch Pro...yeah! Once you learn this well designed interface, it's amazing how much information you gain by just a single glance at your watch.
This is easily the best WearOS watchface available. No joke. I've used a ton of them and this one is the very best.
I have premium but nothing will work anymore on my Fossil sport,worked on my Samsung 9s but won't work with my Samsung 10s keeps saying to install on watch,and I'm using old android.?
This is an outstanding app. Very well designed and nice UI/UX. Good job!
Can't get the thing to do anything just keeps telling me my Moto 360 doesn't have that ability. Don't waste your time.
Every setting but complications is "coming soon". Don't waste your money!
Great weather watch face! Very useful for anyone working outdoors.
by far the best at a glance weather watch out there. worth the subscription.
I love the watch face, but the app keeps crashing...
Lackluster features with the majority of features requiring a subscription
Most informative watch face hands down!
Wants me to by it again on the watch after purchasing on phone. Dumb
Love the info. It's really well laid out.
Best watchface by miles
Excellent Weather Wear Watchface
Abandoned. No update since 2017
This is probably one of the few watch faces with a learning curve, but once you get the feel for how information is displayed it's a fantastic and beautiful watch face. The amount of information packed onto the screen while still avoiding clutter is astonishing, and the customization options allow for fine-tuning to fit your preferences. Easily one of the best watch faces I've ever used.
Brilliant. Never thought I'd use "just" a weather face for my main watch face, but this adds so much at-a-glance info, without being ugly or digits heavy. Especially ingenious to estimate accurate forecasts even when disconnected. And I've never seen such a well-connected app, that I can always rely on it being up to date. Anxious to see where the app and dev go from here.
This is exactly the kind of face I bought my watch to use. Visualizing a 24 hour weather forecast as a graph wrapped around the screen is brilliant. At a glance I can see projected conditions for any hour of the day, as well as watch and phone battery levels. Battery usage seems lighter than other watch faces I've tried as well, but I could just be imagining that.
This is my absolute favorite watchface. It's gorgeous, useful, and has everything you need. Unfortunately, the latest update has rendered it completely unusable for me. The watchface shows no data and the app crashes immediately upon opening. I am very much looking forward to when this is fixed, and I'm anxious to see the new features! Highly recommended as long as it's working.
Abandonware - do not install! If you are looking for a suitable replacement, I recently discovered SkyHalo, which appears to be a near-perfect clone of this watch face, and it is still being updated. Krona Sunlight was my favorite watch face for many years, so I am very sad to see it deteriorate into abandonware. It was innovative and had a lot of legitimately useful features, but I simply can't recommend it anymore. Especially since it uses a paid subscription model, and all that we get is gradually less functionality as various services lose compatibility with this app.
