Weather on watch face
- Thread starter eric002
- Start date
Weather sync is spotty at best on mine. Not even the OEM motorola watch dials sync the data consistently. I just use the weather widget on my phone (LG V10)
Between the intellicom and watchmaker apps I paid for I have at least 50-60 watch dials. The only one that I have found to reliably sync weather info is this "P" one... Not sure why.

could you please provide me a link to the Google Play Store for your watch face because I can't find it.

The stock faces that display it are spot-on. Other than that, Minimal and Elegant works great, as do faces by Thomas Hemetri, which allow you to change weather providers.

I use watchmaker premium. The free version isn't that great (IMHO). Its the premium version (for $5) and the watchmaker forum where all the open source developer involvement gets interesting. There are coders who specialize in hands, dial fonts, shadowing and textures...etc. Some of them collaborate and the end results are remarkable. It literally is a forum dedicated to "virtual" watch making.
I went and re-set some of the weather sync parameters and its working MUCH better with more of the dials now. Although I am really not sure just how accurate the data is. Generally its accurate enough to determine what to wear in the morning.
Oh one more thing.. once you are logged into watchmaker, you are not going to be able to search and find words like panerai, luminor, radiomir or the italian phrase "officine panerai". They are legal trademarks and as such the moderators do not allow those entities to be cloned, copied or shared. About 10 years ago Panerai attorneys took to the internet and started shutting down the copy-clone-forge-counterfeit watch sites. So the watchmaker moderators have rules for all that. I was able to find and D/L that one dial though, so some things manage to slip through the cracks.
Intellicom has some nice creations too. But again, the free version isn't all that interesting IMHO. Intellicom and its watch dials seem to be more efficient, faster opening and quicker responding to screen touches, taps and slides. So I like it better than watchmaker in that regard.

No, you have to download and install the Watchmaker Premium app.
[EDIT] there might be more options if your phone is rooted. But mine is not.

I understand I have the watchmaker Premium app, but I still don't see the watch face.
I'll be honest regarding something else about watch faces. There's not one watch face that by really don't developer the doesn't an accurate job of keeping reliable weather data up to date unfortunately.

Well like I said, that's Seiko watch face I can't find could you provide me a link or something?
Okay what's the best looking / classic-looking watch face with face with the battery meter for the phone and the watch?

To be honest I haven't really found a traditional styled design that I really liked enough to download and keep, let alone one with both phone and watch battery meters. There was a pocket watch looking dial I saw last week that was kind of nice. I don't think it had battery power meters though. I usually go for other style types... dive, military, digital, homage...etc. Shrug, just personal preference

Cool... I may need to D/L facer. I had it for a while, but deleted it. Not that it was bad, its more that I was able to find what I wanted with the other two.
