The richest weather watchface out there with tons of functions, and more to come. What is cool with this watch is, that it updates your weather automatically based on where you travel.

ONECALL API 3.0 https://openweathermap.org/api (it has 1000 requests free a day, which will not be filled, you can restrict calls to 1000, so you will never be billed). OpenWeatherMap made a change in their licensing plan. This watch is dependent on the onecall api 3.0, and openweathermap changed the behaviour that you need to create an separate account. 2. Generate a new key. Some people report that default key didn't work for them. The key is usually activated within few hours from OWM, but in some cases it can take up to a day. 3. Paste this 32-digit key in X3M Weather app settings via Garmin Connect app on your phone. It's the fourth option in this watch face settings, called OpenWeatherMap apikey. Click "Apply" or "Done" or "Save" 4. If you see GPS signal needed! Refresh gps signal - step outside and start an activity. Once GPS turns green, switch back to the watch face - your location will be updated. If your watch is able to get location from your phone: allow Garmin Connect app access to your location and run in the background. 5. If you see Fetching... wait ~5min or don't see weather description - open Garmin Connect app on your phone and sync with your watch. Wait for the next weather update. 6. If you see Check BT connection! Sync with Connect app... - open Garmin Connect app on your phone and sync with your watch. Wait for the next weather update. 7. If you see Need apikey in settings! 32-digit OWM code - Check steps 1-3 and that you have pasted the key into right field. 8. If you see Invalid Api Key, you key is not yet activated, or if it doesn't get activated, contact me, and we can check it out. 9. Garmin Connect (NOT Connect IQ) app must be allowed to run in the background on your phone. This app does not collect or store your info. Permissions are required to get weather for your location and query the weather service in the background.

v.1.2.0 2024/10/27 - invalid apikey error fix, remember you will need onecall 3.0 apikey. Fixed wind from just displaying "-" sign, now you should have a value. Built with newest framework. *** v.1.1.9 2024/09/10 - newest framework, more watch support, crashes should be fixed. NOTE! OpenWeatherMap changed (deprecated onecall 2.5 api, so, if you had a working key, you must create a new one, and then it will work again. You will see Invalid API-key message if you have wrong key, check description above how to get onecall 3.0 apikey, it's free to 1000 requests a day like always, but must be created again!) ** v.1.1.8 2024/03/25 - newest framework, new watchfaces, overall stability fixes. ** v.1.1.7 2023/06/22 - newest framework, new watchfaces supported, overall stability improved. ** v.1.1.6 2022/10/14 - a nasty bug that caused the watchface to crash if you shut down the watch over night, and when waking up you had not the connect app running in background, it caused the IQ icon and would not recover until syncing with garmin connect app and navigating once to widgets and back, or select the watchface again. ** v.1.1.5 2022/03/10 HOTFIX! Graph time was shifted into future, which was not so nice, should be fixed now! Thanks jwcomou for reporting problem. ** v.1.1.4 2022/10/03 - Weeknumber/Julian day selectable in date, moreover you can select them in datafields. Wind dots too low in some conditions fixed. Removed the rain background, so rain/snow is now more clearly visualized. Added VO2max as datafield per request. A new setting "Location name accuracy" - you can select either the old closest weatherstation or the new geocode gps coordinates to get location name. ***
